Summary

In this episode of the Ask Yourself Why Not podcast, Shaye and Jayla discuss the quote 'It takes strength to hold on, it takes even more strength to let go.' They explore the idea of holding onto situations, people, relationships, and habits that aren't serving us out of fear and uncertainty. They emphasize the importance of letting go and creating space for new things that are a better energetic alignment to come into our lives. They also use metaphors of the caterpillar becoming a butterfly and being anchored down in water to illustrate the concept of letting go and flowing with life.

      • "It takes strength to hold on, it takes even more strength to let go."

      • "When you let go of people or situations or habits that you're really trying to hold onto and you're forcing that relationship or you're forcing that job that you've been in, you know it's not right for you. You don't want to let people down, yeah, you're just letting yourself down."
