Wild Ways Week | Day 2

In today’s episode of Wild Ways Week, we’re meeting The Maverick: the rebel heart, the rhythm breaker, the one who was never meant to follow the script. If you’ve ever been told you're “too much,” “too loud,” or just not the norm, this one’s for you.

Mavericks crave brave rhythms, real-life ones, not Pinterest-perfect ones. But before they create them, they often wrestle with pressure, perfectionism, and feeling like they have to tone it down to be taken seriously. This episode will speak right to that tension and what happens when a Maverick finally stops asking permission.

We’ll dig into what makes Mavericks tick, what they long for, what tends to get in the way and how they find freedom.
