Episode 18 — The Art of Letting Go: Making Space for the Life You Want
In this episode of Feelings You Can Trust, we enter Step 4 of the framework: Take Action — and we begin with the most overlooked part of the action phase: releasing what no longer aligns with the life you’re trying to build.
Before you start manifesting, planning, or creating new habits, the very first step is clearing space.That means evaluating the people, routines, environments, and internal narratives that no longer support your growth — and gently letting them go.
This episode is for the woman who feels herself evolving but doesn’t yet know how to restructure her life to match that evolution.
