Podcasts about Let Go

In this replay episode, I'm getting real about having the courage to let go as our teens approach adulthood. I share my own journey parenting two very different kids. I talk about why our teens need space to develop crucial life skills like organization, time management, and problem-solving before they leave home. It's not just about getting them to college; it's preparing them to thrive there. I offer practical tools like family meetings, regular check-ins, and emotional honesty to help you build the connection that makes letting go possible. Let's navigate this together.

Have you been laid off, or are you worried you might be? This week, Jean is joined by Laura Brown (former Editor-in-Chief of InStyle) and Kristina O'Neill (former Editor-in-Chief of WSJ. Magazine), authors of the bold and unfiltered new book, All the Cool Girls Get Fired: How to Let Go of Being Let Go and Come Back on Top. Both women hit the top of their industries… and then got let go. Now, they're helping other women, especially Gen Xers and those over 40, navigate layoffs, ageism, financial uncertainty, and the terrifying-but-liberating process of starting over. In this episode, we talk about: Why getting fired has nothing to do with your worth, and everything to do with changing industries How to handle that first day post-layoff (what not to sign, how to negotiate your severance) Smart money moves to make immediately, whether or not you have an emergency fund Tips for negotiating with credit card companies, cutting spending fast, and finding bridge income Choosing your next path: freelancing vs. going back to corporate Why midlife women must challenge the shame and secrecy around job loss And the launch of their new community: The Cool Girl Network Resources:

“When someone or something leaves your life, it's not rejection, it's divine redirection.” There comes a moment when you know it's time to let go of that relationship, that dream, that version of yourself you've outgrown, yet something inside still holds on. You've prayed, journaled, meditated, and tried to release, but the grip remains. In this episode of Soul Talk, I share what it truly means to let go when you can't let go. You'll learn why surrender isn't something you do, but something that happens when the ego finally gets tired of trying to control life. Letting go isn't weakness, it's grace. It's the art of trusting life's timing, honoring your resistance, and allowing yourself to be guided by something deeper than your mind. Listen to this episode and learn how to soften the struggle, trust the process, and open to the freedom that comes when you stop forcing and start flowing. Because letting go isn't the end,  it's the beginning of a new you.   Timestamps:  (00:00:54) -  The moment you know it's time to let go. (00:03:26) -  Understanding the nature of letting go and the role of the ego (00:05:20) -  Why we cling: ego as protection, not weakness (00:06:16) -  Blessing the part of you that's still holding on   (00:08:32) - Feel, don't force: the importance of emotional honesty (00:10:36) -  Letting go of the idea of letting go (00:13:41) -  Asking the right question: What lesson is life teaching me? (00:19:24) - You cannot lose what is meant for you (00:16:49) -  Trusting divine redirection and making space for new (00:17:30) -  Living again: how action heals (00:18:41) - Letting go doesn't mean you don't care; it means you trust (00:20:50) -  Trusting divine redirection and making space for new   Some questions I ask:  What am I actually afraid will happen if I let go? What pain am I trying not to feel? What is this situation teaching me about myself? What lesson is my soul ready to learn? What part of me am I being asked to reclaim?   In this episode, you will learn about:  Why forcing yourself to “just let go” often creates more resistance. How to honor the part of you that's still holding on without judgment. The difference between willpower and willingness. How to feel and process the emotions that keep you attached. Why surrender is a grace, not an action. How to trust divine timing and redirection in your life.   Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.com Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com   Resources with Kute Blackson: Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com   Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.

Health and Fitness with ErinIn this empowering episode of Energy Shift, Coach Erin McDonald sits down with Miranda Rae, mom of three and wellness advocate, to talk about the real-life challenges of balancing motherhood, identity, and personal growth. Together they unpack what it means to find peace in the middle of chaos — and how reframing your struggles can help you grow stronger, calmer, and more connected.​✨ What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Let's talk about letting go and doing it way faster. If you're anything like me and my clients, letting go can feel emotionally heavy and unnecessarily hard. But what if it didn't have to be? In this episode, I'm walking you through the three-step decision-making framework that came straight out of a recent Organized Life Academy coaching call. This framework will help you change the way you think about your stuff. Whether it's physical clutter, digital overwhelm, or outdated business ideas, this process helps you finally make decisions (and stop circling around them for months). I'll also share details about a one-time-only secret-room organizing event you're invited to. It's part workshop, part BTS (behind the scenes) peek at me decluttering a room that's gotten completely out of hand (again). ➡️ Register for the workshop on October 17, 2025, at https://simplysquaredaway.com/secret. If you want to see the organizing steps in action and how I actually make decisions in real life, don't miss this!   What you'll learn in this episode: Why letting go actually gets easier when you do this first The simple rule one client uses to decide what ideas to keep or let go of. How to shift your mindset after making a decision so you don't regret it later What clutter really is (spoiler: it's not what you think) A blunt but freeing perspective on business offers, clothes, and all the “what if I need it later?” items Exactly how I'm prepping for my second round of decluttering in my infamous “secret room” For the full transcript, notes, links, and more, go to:  https://simplysquaredaway.com/133

Believe it or not, I rarely, if ever, have everything figured out all at once. If one thing is going well, something else is giving me issues. Like, my business is doing great, but my relationship with one of my parents isn't. I'm completing my goal of going to more speaking events, but I haven't completed my goal of owning a home. I feel behind, and even though I know it will all work out, it still feels scary in the moment.    So what can we do after we validate our own feelings? We make a plan and we stick to it. Because our feelings are valid, but we can't let them hold us back.    In this week's episode, we're working on letting go of the timeline. In this episode, I'm going to teach you how to stop feeling behind and start moving forward. This idea of a timeline and the American Dream is not the end-all all be-all of your life. You control your destiny, you know your circumstances, and what you have had to overcome. It's time to stop letting the idea of a timeline control you and time to get moving.  Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Sign up for the FREE webinar, Make 2026 Your Main-Character Year, here!

We all have those things we want to use—like that stash of fancy teas or essential oils—but somehow… we never do. And yet, we feel too guilty to let them go. In this episode, we're talking about the clutter that's “still good” and why it's so hard to part with it, especially with an ADHD brain.What you'll learn:Why “out of sight, out of mind” makes decluttering harderSmall, ADHD-friendly ways to actually use the stuff you already haveA fresh take on expiration dates (that might finally work for you)You don't have to use it or lose it right this second—but you do get to decide what's worth keeping in your life.Free Resources:

Letting go is the path to true freedom. In a world full of illusions—status, expectations, perfection—empaths often carry the heaviest weight. But the truth is simple: everything we cling to fades. Money won't save us. Fame won't follow us. In the end, we all die, and most will forget us. That's not dark—it's liberating. When we accept this truth, we stop performing and start living. Real peace comes not from holding on, but from letting go. So drop the lies, feel deeply, and live fully. This journey is short—make it real, make it yours, while you still can.

It's when you're ready to give up.. that a BREAKTHROUGH happens.Why? Because it's only when we open up into a full surrender that we start to receive the lessons we need.

Hi Parents! Do you ever feel weighed down by parenting guilt? If your teen struggles with anxiety, it's so easy to blame yourself - wondering if you've done enough, said the right things, or somehow made things worse. Guilt can creep in when you set boundaries, when you give space, and even when you try to help. The pressure to “get it right” all the time can leave you second-guessing your every move. In this solo episode, I'm diving into how parenting guilt shows up and why it can feel so heavy when your teen is anxious. More importantly, we'll talk about how to release it, so you can support your teen with confidence instead of constantly questioning yourself. I'll share how guilt can actually fuel anxiety for both you and your teen, the mindset shifts that make space for more calm and clarity, and simple practices that help you show up as the grounded, supportive parent your teen needs most. Whether you've been carrying parenting guilt for years or it's just starting to show up in your home, this episode will give you the tools and encouragement to let go of the weight and step into a more confident, compassionate role in your parenting journey.

On this episode of CD Burners, we're breaking down Let Go by Avril Lavigne with special guest Luna Shadows. We talk about how “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” and “I'm With You” turned Avril into a global icon, why her songwriting hit harder than people gave her credit for, and how Let Go helped redefine what pop punk could sound like. Luna shares how this record shaped her as an artist, and why it still holds up over 20 years later. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ever feel like your stuff is running your life instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much you declutter, your home still feels overwhelming — and every “maybe someday” pile just keeps growing? In this episode, I sit down with decluttering coach and creator of Downsize Upgrade, Abigail Roe, to talk about why letting go isn't just about tough love or sentimentality — it's about logic, systems, and learning to stop overthinking your stuff. Abigail shares her refreshingly practical approach to simplifying, from her “Wheel of Decluttering” challenge to her F.I.V.E. method for curating clothes. She brings equal parts truth bombs and silly jingles (yes, really!) to make the process not only doable but fun. Whether you're drowning in clothes that don't fit, sentimental keepsakes, or just way too many organizing containers — this conversation will leave you motivated, clear-headed, and ready to finally make space for joy and productivity. ✨ We talk about: Why “being sentimental” often masks a struggle to let go The F.I.V.E. method for deciding what clothes deserve space in your closet How curating as you go makes decluttering easier (and less emotional) The genius behind the Wheel of Decluttering — and why you'll want to spin it How to stop impulse buying before it fills your home again Why joy plus productivity is the real secret to lasting change

What would you do if a spirit followed you home from a ghost hunt? In tonight's episode we bring you three chilling, true accounts from listeners across North America. First: a sensitive investigator visits the Sun-Kissed production factory in Mesa, Arizona, and becomes overwhelmed by a furious female spirit — a worker who claims she was raped and murdered. The experience is so intense it rattles the caller, and later the car alarm inexplicably blares twice as they leave the site. Next: a college student reeling from loss takes a drive and finds a hidden bench and a Tupperware full of handwritten letters left for someone who died there — a coincidence that becomes a lifeline. Finally: a family deals with persistent poltergeist signs — a houseplant that refuses to die in subzero weather, motion-activated LEDs lighting a shadow box with a keepsake, and other gentle proofs that a lost loved one may still be near. Three stories, three very different kinds of “signs.” Which one would you believe? #GhostHunt #HauntedFactory #TrueGhostStories #Paranormal #Spooky #Synchronicity #HauntedObjects #KeepsakeSigns #RealGhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation Love real ghost stories?

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agencies don't make it 25 years but Bill Swanston's has. From surviving 9/11 to leading a 30-person team through COVID, Bill shares how Bosun (formerly Frederick Swanston) adapted, learned to love KPIs, empowered their team, and even pulled off a successful rebrand. His story proves you can survive the toughest agency seasons and come out stronger—if you track the right numbers, avoid “superclient” risk, and learn to truly let go. What You'll Learn Why resilience (not just growth hacks) is the real agency survival skill How ignoring KPIs almost cost the agency big—and how to avoid that mistake Why letting go of control is the only way to grow past founder-dependence What a rebrand really signals about an agency's maturity and leadership shift The hidden dangers of relying on a “superclient” Key Takeaways Keep overhead light in uncertain times—it gives you room to maneuver when crises hit. Track your KPIs like a client project: salaries as % of AGI, AGI per employee, revenue per client. Don't rely on a single client for survival—client concentration is a silent killer. Empower your team early—you can't scale if you're reviewing every deliverable yourself. Rebrands work when they reflect a cultural shift—not just a new logo. What does it really take to keep an agency alive through market crashes, pandemics, and the endless grind without burning out or losing your edge? Today's featured guest will unpack his journey from starting in a basement with a couple of clients to leading a 30-person team through some of the toughest seasons an agency can face. From navigating financial blind spots to learning how to actually let go and trust his team, and the reason the agency's 25th anniversary actually marked a big shift with a new rebrand. Bill Swanston is the president and founder of Bosun, an Atlanta-based agency that just celebrated its 25th anniversary. Formerly known as Frederick Swanston, the agency has weathered market crashes, client shakeups, and a pandemic while building a powerhouse team with deep creative and digital chops. In this episode, we'll discuss: The challenges that really tested the agency's resilience. How learning to love KPIs saved the business. Why rebrand after 25 years?

Building Through Adversity and Surviving 9/11 After moving back to Atlanta from New York, Bill was freelancing at BBDO and thinking about switching to smaller agency. As he saw it, it was better to be a big fish in a smaller pond. Unfortunately, his gig at the smaller agency was short lived, since the agency shut down for good. Instead of packing it in, Bill and his partner Scott Frederick grabbed a few clients, set up shop in a basement, and got to work. Built-in revenue gave them a smoother start than most scrappy entrepreneurs, but reality set in quickly. By the early 2000s, they were hit hard by 9/11 and its ripple effect on corporate events. It was a reminder that whether you're at a big holding company or running your own small shop, stability is often an illusion. Surviving those first waves meant keeping overhead light, grinding it out, and learning how to adapt before the word “pivot” became a business cliché. The Challenge that Really Tested the Agency's Resilience Partnerships can make or break an agency and Bill admits the early years with his partner had their rough patches, not as creatives, but as business owners learning how to disagree productively. Over time, their different strengths meshed into what became a powerful leadership duo. But nothing tested the agency quite like COVID. With a staff of 30 suddenly looking to them for answers, the partners had to act fast. They slashed salaries, cut their own pay completely, and relied on federal relief programs like PPP loans to keep the team intact. That lifeline, combined with quick adjustments, got them back on track. As Bill put it, “It was the absolute worst period of time for the agency. But we came out stronger because we had no choice but to figure it out fast.” From Gut Instinct to KPIs That Saved the Business Like a lot of creative-led shops, Bill and his partner weren't exactly obsessed with financial metrics at first. According to Bill, they mostly leaned on QuickBooks, check-writing, and gut instincts. That worked until it didn't. By the time they realized improprieties had slipped under the radar, they knew it was time to upgrade. Today, they track everything from salaries as a percentage of adjusted gross income to AGI per employee to recurring revenue versus project-based work. They also look at revenue per client to ensure there isn't any one account that is overwhelming the team. Like many agencies, they had this happen at one point, with a client that accounted for 50% of their billing. He remembers being scared once this client started to dwindle as a result of the ‘08 crisis, which taught him the danger of relying on superclients that can walk away and take half your revenue with them. Bill stresses that KPIs aren't about being a math whiz, but about having clarity. Knowing your true profitability by client or department means you stop guessing and start making better decisions. “We do it for our clients,” he said, “so we've got to do it for ourselves too.” Nowadays, he works with an external CPA and an internal comptroller who help him keep an eye on the agency's finances. Pro tip: If you're not yet at the point where you can have a CFO but don't know where to start to assess your agency's financials, use askquick.ai. It's a tool developed by Jason and his team that'll help you figure out your most profitable clients, assess your financial red flags, measure your KPIs, and more. Learning to Let Go and Empower the Team For the first decade, Bill and Scott were deep in the weeds, reviewing every creative output, managing every account, carrying the business on their backs. Eventually, the workload became too much and they had to learn how to trust others. Empowering team members to make real decisions wasn't easy. It started organically as new hires took over account management, media, and digital responsibilities. Over time, Bill realized the work improved when people felt ownership and felt empowered to shape the agency. “The ability to let go and trust others is essential to grow your agency,” he says. This trust not only gave the agency room to grow but also gave Bill and Scott the freedom to step back from being prisoners of their own business. Why Would a 25 Year Old Agency Rebrand Now? After two and a half decades as Frederick Swanston, the founders made the bold move to rebrand as Bosun to better reflect what they'd become. The decision was about more than a new logo. According to Bill, keeping their surnames in the brand felt too self-centered and didn't reflect the agency's culture. The rebrand signaled a shift: it's not about Bill or Scott anymore. It's about the team, the clients, and the relationships that actually fuel the work. While rebrands often make clients nervous, Bill said the transition was seamless. In fact, many partners celebrated alongside them, proving that strong relationships matter more than the name on the door. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

We don't know the problem we have: reading the Bible at the surface. English translations are trustworthy, but they flatten words that Hebrew infused with density, imagery, and connection. We end up missing layers of meaning that would transform how we live. In this conversation, we explore what happens when Hebrew cracks open the text.  Familiar words you thought you understood suddenly leap off the page. Hope is sturdier, love is covenantal, fear is reframed, faith is embodied. The story of God's promises comes alive in a way that makes you want to keep digging. This isn't about becoming a scholar. It's about recognizing that the Bible is one unified story and learning how the Hebrew underneath points us more deeply to the God who keeps His promises and to the Messiah who fulfills them. Key Takeaways We often assume we know what biblical words mean, but translation thins their meaning. Hebrew restores density, imagery, and connection across the Testaments. Reading with Hebrew awareness turns abstract concepts into embodied realities. Surface-level reading can keep us from seeing God's covenant faithfulness. The Bible is one story, not two disconnected halves. Studying Hebrew words is a practical tool for deeper discipleship. This shift leads to sturdier hope, reoriented fear, covenantal love, and faithful living. Chapter Markers 00:00 — Why Hebrew Matters: Seeing the Problem 02:30 — The Good News Is Even Better 05:40 — How Words Get Flattened in Translation 07:31 — Discovering Hope in Its Original Depth 15:37 — Reframing Fear Through Hebrew Insight 24:03 — God's Help and Presence in Hebrew 30:56 — Covenant Love That Won't Let Go 34:38 — Faith That Becomes Faithfulness 44:46 — Practical Next Steps: How to Begin This episode invites you to move past surface-level Bible reading and see the unified story of God in full color.
