Letting go is never easy. For most of us, it feels like losing something—control, familiarity, or even a piece of ourselves. But as I’ve learned through my journey and while writing my first book, Let Go to Let In, letting go is not about loss. It’s about creating space. It’s about trusting that when we release what no longer serves us, we make room for something better.
For a long time, I struggled with the idea of letting go. I held onto people, ideas, and expectations that were no longer aligned with who I was becoming. Why? Because they felt safe. Even when they weighed me down, they were familiar, and I convinced myself I needed them. But life has a way of teaching us that holding on too tightly only creates stagnation. Growth requires movement, and movement requires release.
The process of writing my book forced me to confront my own struggles with letting go. I realized that it wasn’t just about releasing external things—it was about releasing the inner blocks, like fear, regret, and the stories I told myself about what I “should” be. The more I let go, the lighter I felt. And in that lightness, I began to see new opportunities, new connections, and a deeper version of myself.
Letting go doesn’t happen all at once—it’s a process. It requires patience, self-compassion, and trust in the unknown. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: when we let go, we don’t lose—we gain. We gain clarity. We gain freedom. And most importantly, we gain the ability to invite new experiences into our lives.
Ask yourself: What am I holding onto right now that no longer serves me? You might be surprised at how much space you could create by simply letting it go.
