What would it take for you to give away something valuable — not because you had to, but because your soul said it was time?

This episode reveals the emotional and spiritual journey behind one of the boldest acts of trust I’ve made: giving away thousands of dollars’ worth of belongings before our move to Bali. Not selling. Not storing. Just releasing — with open hands and an open heart. And in that surrender, something unexpected came in: lightness, clarity, peace.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in indecision, afraid to let go, or caught in the trap of “just in case,” this episode is a mirror, a nudge, and an invitation.

“Sometimes the most valuable thing isn’t what we keep, it’s what we’re willing to release.”

What would you take if your entire life had to fit in one suitcase?

And more importantly — what would you finally let go of?

This episode is a tender, honest reflection on radical simplicity. As we prepared to move to Bali, we gave ourselves a 6x6 closet to store everything for our family of three. That’s it. One suitcase. One carry-on. No “just in case.” No more holding on to things that weighed more emotionally than physically. And in letting go, I found something unexpected — freedom. Space. Clarity.

“When you strip it all down, the essentials become clear.”

If you’re craving simplicity or feel overwhelmed by what you’re holding onto — emotionally or physically — this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like the place you once called home no longer fits who you’re becoming?

Or wondered if home could be something deeper than a physical space?

This heartfelt episode invites you into the raw and emotional process of releasing what once was — in my case, preparing to leave our family home before moving to Bali. I reflect on the shifting meaning of “home” and how it transforms through seasons of growth, loss, and reinvention. If you’re navigating a move, letting go of a place you love, or redefining your identity, this conversation offers grounding perspective and gentle clarity.

“Home is not where you are, it’s how you feel inside yourself.”

Have you ever assumed your child was “fine” during a big life transition… only to realize later they were silently carrying more than you knew?

Are you so focused on holding it all together that you forget they’re trying to hold it together too?

This episode is a raw reflection on the emotional load kids carry—especially when we, as parents, are in survival mode. It’s an invitation to pause, soften, and see the unseen grief or overwhelm in the little ones walking beside us. Whether you're navigating a move, a breakup, or just a new chapter, this episode will shift how you show up for the people you love most.

✨ Are you holding onto a version of yourself that’s no longer meant to come with you?

✨ What identities, roles, or ways of being might you need to release in order to step into the life you truly want?

Sometimes growth doesn’t look like gaining more—it looks like shedding what no longer fits. This episode is an invitation into the tender, transformative space between who you were and who you’re becoming. If you’ve been feeling the tension of transition, or sensing that something new is calling you without knowing exactly what it is, this reflection might be the grounding reminder your soul needs.
