Soulful Sunday | This Week Feels Like Letting Go

Letting go isn’t always easy—especially when you’ve poured so
much of yourself into something. But gripping tightly to an
outcome that’s already shifting away will only leave you stuck,
frustrated, and drained.


This week, we’re releasing the need to control every outcome. No
more forcing. No more fighting for what’s already walking away.
Instead, we’re making peace with the unfolding and trusting that
what’s meant for us will always find us.
What You’ll Get in This Episode:

A few reasons letting go of outcomes feels so hard

Why trying to force what’s already shifting only leads to
more struggle

A shift in perspective that will help you breathe a little
easier this week

Takeaway:

There is peace in letting go. Holding on too tightly—whether to
plans, people, or expectations—can feel like security, but often,
it just keeps us stuck. This episode is an invitation to loosen
the grip, trust the unfolding, and find peace in what’s already
shifting. Because sometimes, the freedom we’re searching for
isn’t in getting what we want—it’s in releasing what was never
ours to hold.
Affirmation for the Week:

“This week, I release the need to control every outcome. I trust
that what’s meant for me will find me. I find peace in the
unfolding.”


Take a deep breath and press play.
