“Freedom Is a Lie (If You’re Still Stressed Like This)”
Are you actually building a free life… or just surviving a better version of stress? Most people think freedom starts with money—but what if that’s not the real problem? In this episode, we unpack the truth about survival mode vs freedom—and how you can have more success, more money, and still feel stuck, overwhelmed, and constantly “on edge.” Rae & Cori dive into the emotional, financial, and mental patterns that keep people in survival mode—even after leveling up. You’ll learn how to recognize survival habits, redefine what freedom really looks like for your life, and start creating peace within your current season—not just chasing it. This matters because if you don’t break the cycle, you’ll keep upgrading your life… but never actually feel free. Take a moment after this episode and ask yourself: Am I living… or just getting through the day?

You’ll learn how to release emotional pressure, redefine strength, and stop being everyone’s crutch without guilt.

Nobody Talks About This Part of Grief
The world gives you two weeks to grieve. Then what? In this deeply personal episode of Freedom On Your Terms, Eleanor and Rae tackle a topic that every person will face at some point in life but few people are truly prepared for: grief. From the loss of parents, siblings, grandparents, and close friends to the end of relationships, friendships, and chapters of life, grief has a way of touching every part of our existence. Yet once the funeral ends and the condolences slow down, the world often expects us to return to business as usual. But grief doesn't work that way. Eleanor and Rae share their personal experiences navigating the loss of loved ones while continuing to run businesses, raise families, and show up for life. They discuss the difference between mourning and grieving, the regrets that often accompany loss, and the lessons grief can teach us about living more intentionally. This conversation explores the realities of processing loss, allowing yourself to feel difficult emotions, asking for help, supporting others through grief, and learning how to move forward without leaving the people you love behind. Whether you're currently grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply want to live a more meaningful life, this episode offers honest reflections, practical insights, and a reminder that healing is not a timeline—it's a journey. In This Episode: The difference between mourning and grieving Grieving while running a business and managing responsibilities Why grief doesn't end when the funeral is over The role of therapy, support systems, and community How loss changes your perspective on life and relationships The regrets people carry after losing someone they love Giving people their flowers while they're still here Learning to live authentically after loss Supporting friends and family members through grief Why it's okay to admit you're not okay Grief is not something you get over. It's something you learn to carry. The goal isn't to forget the people you've lost—it's to honor them by living more intentionally, loving more openly, and making the most of the time you have. If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who may need it. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is the reminder that we're not alone.

Travel Isn’t a Money Problem — It’s a Mindset Problem
In this episode of Freedom on Your Terms, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions about travel: that you need money to do it. The truth? You don’t need to be rich—you need to be intentional. We’re sharing real experiences from how we started traveling on small budgets to what it looks like now traveling internationally, with kids, businesses, and real responsibilities. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, waiting for the “right time,” the “right money,” or the “right situation” to finally start living. We talk about how to start where you are, whether that’s a weekend road trip or planning your first international experience, and how travel can shift your perspective, your mindset, and even your healing. If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll travel “one day,” this episode is your sign to stop waiting. We cover why travel is about intentionality—not income, how to start traveling with limited money, the difference between vacation and real experiences, traveling with kids and creating meaningful memories, and how to plan travel even with a 9–5 job. We also get into budgeting strategies, planning trips over time, the importance of flexibility, choosing the right people to travel with, breaking generational patterns, and expanding your worldview. At the core of it all, the takeaway is simple: you don’t need a large budget to start traveling—you need a plan. Small, intentional trips build the foundation for bigger experiences. When you understand your schedule and plan ahead, you create opportunity. Travel is one of the fastest ways to shift your mindset, and ultimately, freedom is something you create—not something you wait for. If this episode made you rethink how you approach travel, share it with someone who’s been waiting for “the right time.” Follow the podcast and stay tapped in as we continue showing you how to live life on your terms.

Time Is the Only Currency That Actually Matters | How to Take Back Control of Your Life
In this episode of Freedom On Your Terms, we challenge one of the biggest misconceptions holding people back—thinking money is the most valuable asset in your life. It’s not. Time is the real currency. Eleanor and Rae break down what it actually means to master your time, why being “busy” is not the same as being productive, and how the way you spend your time is directly tied to your level of freedom, peace, and success. From real-life experiences with high-level entrepreneurs to personal habits that can transform your daily routine, this episode will shift how you think about every hour of your day. They explore how successful people approach time differently, why presence matters more than just being “on time,” and how distractions like social media quietly cost you both money and peace. The conversation dives into the concept of opportunity cost—what you’re giving up every time you spend your time in one place instead of another—and challenges you to rethink how you define time well spent versus wasted time. They also discuss the importance of aligning your time with your values, setting boundaries, and learning how to say no so you can protect your energy and focus. Because at the end of your life, you won’t wish for more money—you’ll wish for more time. If you’re ready to stop feeling busy and start being intentional, this episode will give you the perspective shift you need to take back control of your time and start building a life that truly feels like freedom.
