40. 21 Reasons You Haven’t Fully Bloomed (Yet)

Welcome back to LIBERATED: The Podcast!

Today’s episode is a cozy solocast with me, Leslie Medley—Embodiment Coach, Beathwork Facilitator, Worldwide Speaker and your guide on this wild and liberating journey of awakening. 🌸

This one is all about coming into full bloom. Owning who the EFF you are. Fully expressed. Fully YOU! And also looking at the sneaky ways we stop ourselves from blooming.

I recently shared a post on Instagram with 21 reasons why you might be holding yourself back from fully blooming, and it struck a chord. So in this episode, I’m reading you the list, inviting you to notice which ones land in your body, and diving deeper into a few of the biggest blocks—especially the #1 reason that keeps women from blooming: fear of what you might lose.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why awareness of your patterns is the first step to transformation.
• The difference between thinking your way forward vs. embodying the work.
• How to use your body’s sensations (gut hits, throat tightness, heart flutters) to find your next step.
• A deeper dive into reason #21: the hidden fear of loss beneath rejection, being misunderstood, or stepping into your next-level leadership.
• Practical journal prompts + embodiment invitations to start shifting today.

Because here’s the truth: it’s not a matter of if you’ll bloom. It’s only a matter of when. 🌼 Let’s liberate together.
