Becoming Unbound
Podcast Description
Welcome to Becoming Unbound! I’m Carley Butler—a teacher turned podcast manager and freedom chaser extraordinaire. After 10 years in the classroom, I decided to break free from the system, take a leap of faith, and create a life that feels aligned, exciting, and unbound. Now, I’m here to help you do the same!
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the grind of a 9-5, overwhelmed by life’s expectations, or just dreaming of a life where you call the shots, then you’re in the right place.
This is your space to explore what it really means to break free—whether that’s ditching the corporate grind, homeschooling your kids, building financial independence, or just finding freedom from those old patterns that hold you back.
Each week, we’ll chat about real, raw, and inspiring stories, practical tips, and those little mindset shifts that make a huge difference. So grab your coffee (or matcha, if that’s your vibe), and let’s dive into the messy, magical journey of creating a life that feels like YOU.
Because guess what? Freedom isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of living. Let’s get unbound together! 💖✨

Ready to unlearn the people-pleasing and finally choose you?
In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Johanna Burkhart for a real, soul-forward conversation on breaking trauma-shaped identities, reclaiming boundaries, and mastering your frequency. From losing her father and walking through burnout to leaving her marriage and traveling as a nomad, Johanna shares how she rebuilt safety within and crafted a life that follows her soul’s desire. She unpacks her channeled Purification Process (four simple statements to shift out of spirals fast) plus how to spot self-abandonment, strengthen self-trust, and rest without guilt. You’ll leave with grounded tools, a new lens on boundaries, and the courage to choose yourself, again and again.
