ABOUT YOUR HOST

Victoria’s Podcast releasing late summer 2025

Where thought and voice roam free. Cagefree is a witty space for thoughtful disruption – of what we’re told to believe, how we’re expected to lead, and who we’re supposed to be. Here we look beneath the surface of culture, identity, ambition, and meaning to ask: what’s really shaping us?

It’s about clarity. Transformation. Letting thought and spirit stretch beyond the frame they were handed. Sometimes that takes research. Sometimes it takes a cup of spilled tea. I’m Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt, and this is Cagefree. Come as you are – and expect to leave a little different.

The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it’s to imagine what is possible.

The doors to the world of the wild self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door. If you have an old, old story, that is a door.
