In this episode, host Dr. Steve Hudgins, and co host Kenya Evelyn take us on a transformative journey centered around the theme of freedom, not just as a right, but as a profound responsibility.

Together, they unpack what it means to be free truly: from limiting beliefs, from the old wounds of our inner child, and from the “chains” we forge in our own minds. They discuss how the words we use shape our reality, why taking ownership of our thoughts is crucial for growth, and how personal freedom blooms when we step into self-awareness, love, and gratitude. Kenya and Dr. Steve share powerful tools and exercises, from high-five mirror techniques to playful self-permission, inviting us all to celebrate happiness right here and now.

Join them as they challenge the language of limitation, examine the power of self-reflection, and encourage us to see others—and ourselves—as mirrors for healing and change. If you’re searching for inspiration to break free from old patterns and live a life of peace, purpose, and authentic connection, this episode offers both practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement.

Let’s embark on this journey toward a healthier, happier you—starting with the freedom to be your truest self.
