The Liberated Mind
Break the Mental Chains. Reprogram Your Reality. Live on Purpose. Most people live in a mental prison they didn’t build—and don’t even know they’re in. The Liberated Mind Podcast is your weekly guide to radical self-awareness, subconscious reprogramming, and personal liberation. Inspired by the book The Liberated Mind, this show explores how beliefs are formed, how environments shape identity, and how your thoughts, words, and actions create the reality you live in, whether consciously or unconsciously. Hosted by C. Michael Pickens, this podcast blends neuroscience, philosophy, and lived experience into powerful, practical tools for rewiring your mind, reclaiming your agency, and living with intention. No fluff. No hype. Just truth, transformation, and the kind of clarity that sets you free. If you’re tired of autopilot and ready to wake up, this is your space. Your mind is not a cage. It’s a creation tool. Learn to use it.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
