What if you stopped waiting for the “perfect time”… and just freaking did it anyway? In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I (Carley Butler!) close out Season One with a solo episode straight from the heart. I’m sharing what it’s really been like building this podcast from a wild little dream into a fully alive, messy, magical reality. From recording in my living room studio to pulling late-night edits while launching a business—this season has been a leap of faith in every sense. And that’s what this episode is all about: doing the dang thing even when you’re scared, even when it’s messy, and especially when you have no clue what’s next. This one’s for every dreamer with a fire in their belly.

Season Two? She’s coming in hot—but first, some sunshine and rest 🌞
