The Invaluable Choice to Let Go
The Rebel Love podcast is one of my favorite podcasts for all thing love, sex, relationships, and money. I’ve had the opportunity to talk with Talia a few times now, and every time we are able to dive in deep and have a real heart to heart.

Letting go is painful in the short term and transformational in the long term.
My journey of letting go started way before I even realized I had started on it. I was in a long-term relationship with a man who just didn’t want the things that I did. I stayed for 12 long years before I finally got the courage to leave.
I had to make a LOT of big decisions when I let go of our relationship. I found myself letting go of our home, our mutual friends, and even some intangible things like beliefs, thoughts, and fear that had kept me away from experiencing and finding what I really wanted in life.
I’ve used that same letting go process to let go of things in my life outside of that, including a corporate job and a lot of emotions that were brought to surface during the pandemic.
What If is a Red Flag
Through all of my experiences in life, love, and letting go, I’ve realized that when I find myself wondering “what if,” it’s probably because there’s something I’m holding on to that I need to let go of.
“What if I don’t stay another 12 years in this relationship,” “what if I take a chance on myself,” “what if I leave that big comfy beautiful job?”
Those what ifs were triggers for me, reminding me that I was the one in control of my life and my choices.
Embracing and finding that control is part of that letting go process.
