Episode 1 - Introducing The Freedom Project
Welcome to Episode 1 of the Freedom Project Podcast—a new conversation space rooted in the belief that real health is never just physical. It’s spiritual, mental, emotional, relational, and even financial—and all of it is connected.
In this kickoff episode, Blake and Kaleigh introduce the “why” behind the show and share their personal journeys that led them here. Kaleigh opens up about burning out early in her nursing career, getting sent home with prescriptions at 21, and how a radically different approach—integrative/functional medicine—helped her rebuild her health from the ground up. Blake shares his own wake-up call: years of stress, weight gain, low testosterone, frustration with quick-fix medicine, and the realization that healing requires both truth and time.
Together, they talk through the tension between modern medicine and holistic health, why asking questions shouldn’t make you the villain, and how fear, stress, and unresolved inner battles can quietly shape the body. Most importantly, they set the tone for the podcast: not political, not “woo-woo,” not agenda-driven—kingdom-minded, truth-led, and focused on helping people walk in real freedom.
