Ep #109 - Letting Go of an Intimate Relationship - Pt 2 - "Letting Go When the Heart Wants to Hold On"
Manage episode 502568537 series 2932772
“Build a vision for your life that is bigger than your fear, and watch your courage rise to meet it.”
In part two of our deeply personal series, “Letting Go When the Heart Wants to Hold On,” I’m leaning into one of the most tender, complex, and courageous conversations yet: letting go of an intimate partnership when your heart still clings to love. As a divorce attorney, a wife of nearly 32 years, and a woman who’s been doing the messy, beautiful work of self-discovery, this topic isn’t theoretical for me—it’s lived.
In this episode, I’m not giving you advice or telling you what to do. I’m offering heartfelt invitations—to get honest with yourself, to stop gaslighting your intuition, and to build a courageous vision for the life you truly want. Whether you're questioning your relationship, supporting a friend, or simply evolving into a new version of yourself, this conversation is about choosing alignment over obligation, truth over fear, and growth over stagnation.
This episode is tender. It’s real. And it’s here to remind you that your life is yours to design. If it resonated with you, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast—it helps us grow this beautiful community of women walking courageously through change. And don’t miss next week’s conversation: letting go of friendships when your heart wants to hold on. It's going to be another soul-deep session.
You are not alone. You are doing amazing. Keep being a Girl Out of Order. 💛
