#125 Calm Before the Censorship Storm? Freedom, Digital IDs & Decentralising Life | with Jaymie Icke

What does freedom actually mean in 2025, and how do we keep it?In this powerful conversation, Jaymie Icke and I dig into censorship (the “calm before the storm”), platform dependency, digital IDs, social engineering, the loss of rites of passage, over-labelling, personal responsibility, and how local communities can become ungovernable (in the best way) by decentralising food, education, money and media.We also celebrate 6 years of Ickonic and talk about why independent platforms matter more than ever.In this episode we discuss:- Freedom as choice vs safety as control- Censorship 2.0 and why getting channels back may be a trap- Platform independence: using mainstream reach without dependence- Self-sabotage, over-labelling & the “adult children” problem- Rites of passage, responsibility & mindset (you are worth investing in)- Health sovereignty: food, movement, nervous system, terrain- Community power: localising supply chains, schooling & media- Practical ways to start now - at home, with family, and on your street🔗 Connect & Resources 🔗 Ickonic (independent media)https://ickonic.com/Jaymie Icke https://www.youtube.com/@trendingonickonic⏰ In this episode: 00:00 Congratulations01:36 The Importance of Independent Platforms05:19 Defining Freedom21:14 The Role of Self-Perception and Responsibility28:42 The Importance of Personal Responsibility29:23 The Role of the System in Our Lives30:03 Introduction to Catherine's Work with Animals and People31:36 The Problem of Over-Labeling in Society33:14 Understanding Self-Sabotage and Negative Thoughts35:39 The Impact of Social Media and Society on Mental Health42:49 The Need for Systemic Change and Localized Power47:21 Balancing Work, Family, and Mental Health51:11 Conclusion and Call to Action———————————————— Sign up to my Newsletter: https://www.catherineedwards.life/signup-for-newsletter/———————————————— 👋 Connect with me on social media & more: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/CatherineEdwardsLife⁠⁠⁠www.Catherineedwards.life———————————————— 💫 Start healing - book a Personalised Consultation or Free Discovery Call with me: 👉 https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults———————————————— 📌 Learn More / Work With Me: 🔗 ASEA (10% OFF first order): Use code CatherineEdwards at checkout → https://www.aseaglobal.com/catherineedwardsGold Essentials Bundle (auto-applies in cart; switch country at top): → https://shop.aseaglobal.com/info?cartSharingId=53G3EA80S5E6IG9&st=sc&sn=cl BUT arrange a call or contact me to get advice on purchasing options and product use 📩 Not sure what’s best for you?
