Episode 18: Imagine Me...Finally Free: Walking in Freedom and Authenticity Season 2 Finale

Episode Overview: In this final episode of Season 2 and our series Imagine Me..., Nicole Green takes us on a journey to what it looks like to walk in real freedom—freedom from insecurity, fear, and the weight of the past. True freedom is about living in your authenticity and embracing the hope that the future holds. It’s not about having everything figured out or living perfectly, but stepping into who you are meant to be and letting go of the things that once held you back. Nicole encourages us to break free from those chains and to imagine living fully, freely, and authentically.

The conversation focuses on:

1. PAUSE: What it means to live in freedom and be your authentic self.
2. PONDER: Embracing imperfection and the lifelong journey of self-acceptance.
3. PREPARE: How to cultivate hope for the future and sustain your newfound freedom.

Nicole shares relatable stories about the real struggles we face when pursuing freedom, acknowledging how difficult it can be, but also affirming that we all have the strength and grace to rise. It's a journey of hope, healing, and joy, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Reflection Moment: Take a few moments to imagine yourself fully free—free from fear, insecurity, and the past. What does that look like for you? How would living in freedom change your relationships, your mindset, and your everyday life? Hold on to that vision and believe that it’s possible.

Next Season: Season 2 is wrapping up, but stay tuned for Season 3 in the new year. We’ll dive even deeper into topics that nurture your mental health and get you back to living well, loving well, and being well.

Episode Title: Imagine Me...Rested & Renewed: Finding Rest in a Hectic World

Episode Overview: In this episode, Nicole Green talks about how to find rest and renewal when life feels like it’s constantly in overdrive. So many of us say, “I don’t have time to rest,” but Nicole challenges this mindset by emphasizing that rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Not everyone has the privilege to take a trip or quit a job, but self-care is still something we can all claim in our daily lives. She explores how lack of rest is connected to mental health struggles like anxiety and depression and how rest is a critical part of healing and growth, no matter your circumstances.

The conversation focuses on:

1. PAUSE: Why rest is crucial for mental, emotional, and physical health.
2. PONDER: The signs of burnout and ways to recover from it.
3. PREPARE: Simple practices for finding renewal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually (from sleep to mindfulness and prayer).

Nicole also shares personal experiences of overworking, ignoring her health, and the moment she realized she needed to prioritize rest to show up as her best self.

Key Takeaways:

• Rest isn’t a reward; it’s necessary for us to thrive.

• Burnout has many faces—emotional, physical, and spiritual. Recognize the signs and take action.

• Renewal happens when we make space for it. Sleep, journaling, mindfulness, and spiritual practices can help us reset and restore.

• Self-care saves lives!

Reflection Moment: Take a minute to reflect on this: How are you currently prioritizing rest in your life? Is there something you can let go of or delegate to create space for renewal? Start small if you need to—sometimes rest begins with saying, "No, I need this moment."
