How many times have you told yourself, “I should let go, but I’m scared”? I’ve been there—holding on even when I knew deep down it was time to walk away. The truth is, we don’t leave until we’re ready, and that’s a valid place to be.
Have you ever watched a friend or family member make choices you knew weren’t good for them, yet no matter how much you warned them, they didn’t listen? Yeah, I get it—I was that person too.
Me at 21: “I met a guy, and I’m going to marry him.” I knew it was wrong. I wanted to run away at the altar moments before I said “I do”. But did I listen to anyone? Nope. I stayed—until I was finally ready to leave a year and a half later.
If you’re in a place where you know you should let go but aren’t ready yet, I have so much compassion for you. Instead of forcing yourself forward, take a moment to ask: What’s really holding me back? Because when one good door closes, a better one always opens.
This week on Nourished Inside Out, I had the pleasure of speaking with
about the power of letting go and forgiving yourself for past mistakes. Tune in on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube to hear the full episode. Listen to the latest here!
