When we set goals, the focus is usually on what we need to add—more skills, better habits, greater discipline. But real growth often begins with letting go. Just like my backyard maple trees needed pruning before they could flourish, sometimes we need to release old beliefs, habits, and expectations to make space for the wisdom that’s already inside us.

In this episode, I share how the process of letting go can open the door to deeper self-trust and more authentic growth. We’ll explore:

• Why moving forward isn’t always about doing more.
• How negative self-beliefs like “I’m not enough” silently weigh us down.
• The ways old habits and coping strategies can hold us back, even if they once served us.
• The influence of environments and relationships that keep us stuck in shame or diet culture.
• The myth of constant self-improvement—and why your body already holds the wisdom you need.
• How nurturing the quieter, more tender parts of ourselves creates space for true transformation.

When we stop piling on and start pruning away, we create the conditions for real growth to take root.
