The Wildly Free Woman Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:21:18 -0500 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520519 en-us © 2026 The Wildly Free Woman yes b1cd5a89-0f4d-57ac-b1d7-0e90b69f5c1d Lauren Gall episodic false This podcast is everything I wish someone had said to me sooner.

The things nobody talks about in the world of personal development. The important parts that got left out. The conversations that happen in whispers (if they happen at all).

Hosted by Lauren Gall, LCSW — A holistic therapist, Subconscious and Nervous System Coach trained in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, somatic healing, hypnosis, and the body-based science of lasting change.

Each episode we dive into the spaces in between. The questions most people are afraid to ask out loud. Is the new age world really as scary as we've been told? Were certain modalities taken and repackaged until people of faith felt like they shouldn't touch them? Or were some of these tools of God all along?

This podcast is for the high-achieving woman who has prayed, done the work, read the books and still feels like something is locked inside her she can't quite reach. Who loves God and has also found herself curious about tools and modalities most people in her church wouldn't understand. Who is tired of feeling like she has to choose.

You don't have to choose.

Because here's what makes this space different:

God is in the room.

Not in a churchy, performative way. But in the quiet, real, this-is-bigger-than-all-of-us way that changes everything.

No performance required. No perfect theology needed. No judgment about where you've been.

Just curiosity, the tools that actually work, and permission to finally live wildly free.

Financial coach Simonne Gnessen joins me to explore how belonging pressures, family messages, and avoidance show up in our bodies and how gentle honesty plus simple plans create freedom. If money talk makes you squirm, this one’s for you.

What we cover

  • Why money feels “taboo” and how shame + secrecy keep us stuck
  • Unconscious money messages from family/culture and how they live in our nervous system
  • The “belonging tax”: social spending, splitting the bill, and speaking your truth kindly
  • Scripts for scary moments (pay-rise asks, boundary setting, couples convos)
  • Overspending and underspending: two sides of the same fear
  • Relationship dynamics: when one partner “owns” the spreadsheet and the other shuts down
  • Tools Simonne uses (e.g., value-based plans, reflective card games, rehearsal conversations)
  • A simple path: Confront the truth → make a plan → practice small brave reps

Book a call with Lauren here to explore how to rewire your brain and start making changes today.

Think paint colors, job offers, even dinner? In this episode, Lauren breaks down the sneaky difference between consequences and repercussions. With a “Joybird chair” story, gentle nervous-system logic, and real-life examples—from parenting boundaries to past volatile homes—she shows how our minds over-generalize and why awareness changes everything.

You’ll learn a simple way to test choices (hello, one-wall paint hack), how to honor your intuition without outsourcing your life, and what to do when fear of the “unknown reaction” keeps you small. If decision fatigue, people-pleasing, or “I’ll-get-it-wrong” thinking has been running the show, this one’s your reset.

In this heart-to-heart solo chat, I’m pulling back the curtain on those sneaky emotional spirals that come out of nowhere (spoiler alert: they’re not actually from nowhere). I’m sharing how a random “blah” mood led me to a powerful realization about unhealed childhood wounds, my brother’s untold story, and why our nervous systems are like Google Maps, always trying to re-route us back to the past.

We’ll talk about:
 ✨ How being around kids the age you were during tough times can wake up parts of you that need some TLC.
 ✨ A simple grounding trick to pull yourself back to the now when your brain tries to time-travel.
✨ And why healing old versions of you doesn’t have to be heavy or complicated, it can start with just noticing.

If you’ve been feeling a little “off” and can’t quite put your finger on it, this episode will feel like a cozy exhale. You’re not broken. You’re not crazy. You’re just being invited to heal something tender.
