Episode 21: The Law of Empty Spaces - Why You Can't Receive What's Meant for You Until You Let Go

Release Date: 11/11/2025

Duration: 31 Minutes

Host: Sarah Burby, Founder of MindBodyBehavior

Episode Description

Sarah gets real about energy and why holding onto what no longer serves you is blocking everything you actually want. From toxic jobs to old identities to other people's opinions, this episode is about trusting the void and understanding that the universe doesn't do empty spaces. If your hands are full of what's draining you, you literally cannot receive what's meant for you. No behavior analysis hat required for this one,  just raw truth about transformation, frequency, and finally giving yourself permission to let go.

In This Episode Sarah Discusses...

• The Law of Empty Spaces and why the universe fills every void

• Why we cling to soul-crushing jobs, toxic relationships, and limiting identities

• Her personal story of letting go before meeting her husband

• How other people's fear disguises itself as "concern" for your choices

• The concept of vibrational frequency and why you attract what you match

  
  

Quotes from This Episode

"You cannot receive what's meant for you if your hands are full of what no longer serves you."

"Everything you're holding onto is taking up space, and as long as you're holding it, there is no room for what's next."

"Other people say these things because your transformation threatens their stagnation. When you let go and trust the empty space, you're showing them what's possible."

"I simply refuse to surround myself with people that vibe out at a very low frequency... I am very intentional about whose opinions I allow in my decision process."

"You can't attract that aligned relationship when you're vibrating at the frequency of 'I'm not worthy.”

Action Steps from This Episode

1. Name what you're holding onto - Get specific about one thing that needs to go

2. Acknowledge what it gave you - Honor it without carrying it forward

3. Make a list of 3-5 people whose opinions actually matter to you

4. Feel the fear and let go anyway - Fear doesn't mean it's wrong

5. Sit with the empty space - Resist filling it immediately; let the transformation happen
