EP 228. From Forgiveness to Freedom — What to Do After You Let It Go

You’ve let it go… but now what?

Here’s the thing nobody tells you — forgiveness isn’t the grand finale. It’s not the closing credits. It’s the opening scene to your next chapter. You’ve put down the heavy bag, but freedom? Freedom is when you stop circling the airport of your past and finally walk out into the world with your hands free and your heart light.

In this episode, we’re going deeper than “just let it go.” I’m showing you how to release the weight you’ve been carrying (because yes, forgiveness still leaves residue), create your own closure without waiting for their apology, stop reopening old wounds, and guard your peace like it’s your most expensive possession — because in this season, it is.

If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel heavy after forgiving, or how to stop slipping back into old patterns, this conversation is your game plan. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to live like you’ve let it go, step into your Protect Your Peace Era, and choose you every single time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Forgiveness is just the starting point for personal growth.

• Confidence is a decision you can embody right now.

• Main Character Energy is about owning your narrative.

• Closure is a choice you give yourself, not a gift from others.

• Protecting your peace is essential for lasting healing.

• Setting boundaries keeps your well-being intact.

• You are responsible for your happiness and peace.

• Letting go of old dreams can lead to new possibilities.

• Self-love is an ongoing journey, not a final destination.

THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:

1️⃣ Pause & Breathe

• Stop whatever you’re doing.

• Close your eyes.

• Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of 4.

• Hold for 4.

• Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 6.

• Repeat three times. This tells your nervous system: We are safe. We are here. We are not going back.
  

  
  

2️⃣ Affirm Your Freedom Say out loud — yes, out loud: "I choose my peace over my past. I am free." Recognize: I honor my growth, and I’m not going back.

Do this every time you feel yourself slipping into old patterns, and watch how your peace becomes your default, not your fight. Freedom isn’t a one-time decision — it’s a way of living.
