Letting go is one thing.

Trusting what comes next is another.

After closing chapters, there’s often a quiet in-between — the space where we’re no longer gripping what was, but we’re not yet holding what’s next.

In this episode, I share the realization that so many of my patterns — attachment, jealousy, impatience, the need to be chosen — weren’t random flaws. They were rooted in one thing: a lack of trust.

Trust in timing.

Trust in alignment.

Trust in myself.

We talk about what it means to stop bracing, to loosen control, and to believe that what’s meant for you won’t require force.

Because maybe the real work after letting go… is learning to trust again.

Changing chapters often means relationships change too — even the ones you still care about deeply.

In this episode, I reflect on evolving friendships, the tenderness of letting something shift, and how a relationship can be beautiful — and still complete.

This episode is about the fear of being “too much” — too emotional, too expressive, too intense — and how often that belief forms in spaces where we weren’t fully met.

I reflect on where this story comes from, how it shows up in relationships, and what changes when you stop shrinking yourself to feel safe or chosen.

This is a conversation about self-trust, emotional capacity, and learning to take up space without apology.

Not every ending comes with clarity or closure. And sometimes we don’t know what the future holds. Even in uncertainty, there is a way to find peace.

Releasing control is something I’ve struggled with for a long time, and in this episode I share what I’m learning now — because it feels like the right moment. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, and we all need a little nervous system regulation.

This episode explores choosing regulation over rumination, trusting yourself without answers, and finding calm in the space between what was and what’s next.

In this episode, I talk about walking away from a connection I genuinely wanted — without chasing, convincing, or over-explaining — and why that moment felt like real growth.

We unpack self-worth, intuition, and the difference between anxiety and alignment. I reflect on old patterns of needing to prove my value, how scarcity thinking keeps us attached to situations that don’t serve us, and what changes when your sense of worth is rooted internally instead of in someone else’s validation.

If you’ve ever stayed too long, questioned your value, or struggled to walk away from something that almost worked, this one’s for you.
