About this listen

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.

    In this episode of The Liberated Mind Podcast, host C. Michael Pickens sits down with Kalish Morrow, founder of True Grit Fitness, cancer survivor, former mayor, and military spouse. Kalish shares how her journey through childhood autoimmune disease, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and personal loss shaped her mission to empower others through strength training, nutrition, and mindset. She breaks down her M.O.V.E. framework—Motivate, Optimize, Visualize, Embody—offering practical strategies to build muscle, balance blood sugar, and create identity-based habits that last. Together they explore what it means to have a truly “liberated mind” in health: strength, independence, and the freedom to live fully at any age.

    🚀 New Podcast Episode: The Liberated Mind for Sales Mastery 🎙️

    What if rejection in sales wasn’t real? What if you could reprogram your subconscious to love making calls, build unshakable confidence, and create success on demand?

    In this episode, I sit down with C. Michael Pickens — author of The Liberated Mind for Sales Mastery and CEO of Botanical Enlightenment. We dive deep into:
    ✨ How to overcome limiting beliefs and self-sabotage
    ✨ Why fear of rejection is just an illusion (F.E.A.R = Fantasized Experiences Appearing Real)
    ✨ The secret to mastering the “boring” daily habits that actually make you rich
    ✨ Why affirmations + subconscious reprogramming can transform your sales career
    ✨ How to open relationships instead of just “closing deals”

    Michael’s journey from construction worker to multimillion-dollar business owner, author, and coach is proof that your programming doesn’t define you—you can rewrite the script.

    🎧 Listen now and start reprogramming your mind for sales success.
