And each person has their way of dealing with these situations. Whether it's a failed relationship, a career setback, or a traumatic event from the past, holding onto these negative experiences can weigh heavily on one’s hearts and minds. However, there is profound healing in the act of letting go.

Letting go of past disappointments and trauma is not about denying or minimizing the pain we have experienced. Instead, it is a courageous act of self-compassion and liberation from the shackles of the past. By releasing the grip of resentment, anger, and sadness, we create space for healing, growth, and resilience to flourish.
