“Letting go doesn’t mean losing them. It means trusting that the love you’ve poured into them will carry them farther than your arms ever could.”
The 1st episode in the new 4-part series, "Letting Go When Your Heart Wants to Hold On" is timely and touching. Letting your college kiddos go is gut wrenching AND a beautiful opportunity to reimagine your gorgeous life.
Over these next few episodes, we’ll explore what it really takes to release the people, relationships, and stories that no longer fit who we are becoming — even when every fiber of our heart wants to cling to the familiar. From relationships to stories, this series is an honest and tender look at how to let go without losing yourself in the process.
In this opening episode, we’re diving into one of the most universal and emotional rites of passage for a parent — sending your child off to college. I share my own journey of navigating the swirl of emotions: the deep pride in who they’re becoming, the ache of their absence, and the surprising ways this transition can awaken a new version of you. Together, we’ll talk about the difference between holding on and staying connected, how to honor your feelings without being consumed by them, and why letting go can be an act of profound love. Buckle up because this series is going to be a gorgeous wake-up call and invitation to own your true identity as you navigate letting go when your heart doesn’t want to. Your compelling life is waiting for you!
If this episode touched your heart, please follow, rate, and share it with another parent walking this bittersweet path. Let’s remind each other — letting go is not the end, it’s a new beginning.
