Through a powerful guided affirmation practice, you'll learn how to create space for new growth and possibilities in your life, starting with the simple yet profound act of releasing just one thing that's holding you back. Whether you're in a season of rediscovery, career transition, or personal transformation, this episode offers a gentle reminder that sometimes moving forward requires leaving something behind.
