A Life of Freedom While Growing Roots | Personal Update
I’ve been in a season of putting roots down.
For so long in my life I’ve searched for freedom and adventure. To me this looked like not being tied down to anything and having the ability to go wherever I want in a moment's notice. I’m not a huge planner because I love the idea of spontaneity and I believe opportunities find you much easier when you aren’t too attached to any certain path.
In this journey of freedom and adventure I’ve been able to find myself more deeply. I believe our souls are free and yet it’s the human construct of comfort and safety that has us tie ourselves down and become attached to a certain way of life. For in the unknown your nervous system becomes dysregulated and you begin grasping at any sort of known safety, which oftentimes is the way of life you’ve built for yourself.
What if freedom wasn’t necessarily a freedom from your life, or the confines of what doesn’t feel good in your life, but instead freedom was a state of mind?! What if I can grow roots in a town I love, build a community around me where I feel safe and supported, pursue activities and hobbies where over time I get better and stronger because they’ve become rituals in my life… AND I feel free the whole time?
What if the sense of freedom and adventure I was once searching for in my external world, being able to go and do anything at any time, was actually a desire to feel free in being my most authentic self in this world?!
Freedom is no longer an action for me. At one point in life I would run away to the next place, seeking adventure with curiosity leading the way.
Now freedom is a state of being and a perception of self. I no longer feel confined in who I am or how I portray myself to the world. I am no longer terrified of how others perceive me because I am no longer seeking their validation and acceptance for who I am.
I have spent so much time witnessing the world around me wondering how I fit in, then running away from what doesn’t feel right. I didn’t realize that the freedom I was chasing was actually a closing of the heart, not allowing myself to truly be seen by others.
My past is an integral part of my story and who I am today. I learned a lot in those years of seeking freedom and adventure, moving to new places, meeting new people, trying on different versions of myself.
But this season of life… the one I’m currently in…

Back to the blog - A Life of Freedom While Growing Roots
Well, I’ve never in my life felt as free as I do now.
All the while, growing roots in a small mountain town, building community, knowing this is where I want to call home.
So, this season of life feels very different for me because I’m a different person than who I was a year ago. As I continue to grow these roots in my personal life, I am excited to see how this translates in my spiritual life and how I continue to show up and support you on your personal journey.
I’m still working behind the scenes, creating, contemplating, curating, and channeling.
You may have not heard from me for a little while now, and I’m learning that it’s okay for me to step away and focus on myself every once and while. Because when I shift my internal world I always end up having more to share with you.
This summer I have taken a break from posting new episodes of the podcast, sharing new blog posts, and telling you about my spiritual offers. But, it doesn’t mean I’m not still here, growing my own spiritual connection all while experiencing this human life.
I love you, I miss you, and I haven’t forgotten about you.
For now, I’m giving myself the grace to focus on myself and the life I am cultivating.
It won’t be too long until I am back here again with more to share for you.
Until next time, forever holding space for your spiritual journey,
Sydney Smith
