The Art of Letting Go

What I am discovering again and again is just how much I had been holding onto things that no longer supported or celebrated me.

Letting go isn’t always one big moment. It’s often a quiet decision, repeated daily. Here are a few things I am consciously releasing:

The Word Should

My girlfriend and I were talking about this recently, how that word creeps in and weighs us down.

I should be cleaning the house.
I should go for that promotion.
I should hit the gym.
I should have it all together.

After moving into our beautiful new home in April, I was exhausted - deeply so. And yet, I found myself saying, “I should unpack more boxes... I really should have my shit together.”

But… who says that?
Who decides what I should be doing?

Letting go of "should" is about letting myself rest, recalibrate, and live by my own rhythm. What feels supportive rather coming from a place of guilt.

Letting Go of What People Think

This one’s big. And if I am honest, I thought I had this one mostly sorted.

But menopause has stirred things up.
I felt self-conscious all of a sudden especially around how I express myself through my clothing.

My fashion is evolving (more on that in a future post) my wardrobe is getting a makeover! And this is bringing me so much joy.

I am learning to remind myself, that I don’t need to fit into someone else’s idea of what a woman in midlife should look like, act like, or dress like.

I am in my No F*cks Era - and it’s liberating. You need to follow Fifty and Fearless account by Kylie Jones. It is such a wonderful, inspiring, empowering community of women celebrating this epic season of being over 50.

Sacred Energy + Clear Boundaries

One of the unexpected gifts of this season has been a heightened awareness of what drains me, and what deeply nourishes me.

My energy is sacred.
I am creating stronger boundaries that protect my energy and support the woman I am becoming.

Letting go of what no longer aligns, with softness, but also certainty, has opened up so much more space for joy.

Letting Go of the Fear of Aging

This one has taken time. But slowly, I am loosening my grip on the old stories around age. And instead, I am opening my heart to this beautiful next chapter.

I am not just okay with aging I’m super freaking excited.
Curious. Inspired.
Lit up by who I am becoming.

There’s a quiet kind of power in letting go.

And I am so here for it.

What are you letting go of?
