Free Spirit Academy Podcast
Welcome to the Free Spirit Academy Podcast. Free Spirit Academy is about the freedom to be fully who you are - beyond any cultural conditioning, trauma, or roles you were taught to play.
It’s about coming home to your body, and to yourself.
My name is Rande Moss. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and I’m so glad you’re here for these talks and conversations.

When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Abandonment
In this solo episode, I’m sharing some of my own story: like years of rigid routines, juice fasts, and trying to follow every “right” ritual to become someone who finally felt free, healed, and whole.
But what I found was that all the "being good" didn’t actually leave me feeling at home in myself.
You'll hear me talk about:
- How "self-improvement" can sometimes be a subtle form of self-rejection
- Why rushing or “shoulds” on our healing or growth path tends to keep us looping
- The difference between trying to fix ourselves vs. tending to ourselves
I’ll also share a bit about my new mini program, Rituals for a Free Spirit - a no-fluff collection of short, supportive practices to help you come back to yourself in real-life moments of overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection. It's $19, simple, and there when you need it.
