Episode 110: Why Letting Go Isn’t Failure

In this episode of Better Days Start Today, I’m exploring the idea of letting go. It’s a phrase we hear often, but what does it really mean? For me, it’s less about giving up and more about releasing what no longer fits in this season of life.

As the leaves change outside my window, I’ve been reflecting on how trees naturally release what’s no longer serving them. And I’ve been asking myself: what am I still carrying that feels heavy? What would it look like to set it down and create space for something new?

Letting go doesn’t mean losing. It means choosing freedom, lightening your load, and making room for what matters most.

WHAT WE’LL COVER:

✔️ Why letting go can feel like failure, and what it really means instead

✔️ How nature can guide us in learning to release

✔️ A simple ritual to symbolically let go of what’s weighing you down

✔️ Journal prompts to help you reflect and lighten your load
