Episode 54: Closing With a Bow: Healthy Endings, New Beginnings


Listen Later

We end as we lived: real, funny, and unfiltered. In our finale, we model how to end something good in a healthy way. We talk about capacity, courage, and why saying "yes" to the next season sometimes means lovingly saying "no" to the current one. We reflect on what this show grew in each of us, share what's next (retreats, Liberation Modules, new podcasts, and programs), and leave you with resources to keep going. We're not disappearing; we're just changing the container.

Big Ideas & Takeaways Healthy endings are a skill. Quitting isn't failure; it's a values-based boundary. Endings deserve clarity, care, and gratitude. Capacity is real. Every "yes" is also a "no." You can do many things, just not all of them well at once. Truth beats polish. Dropping the expert mask and telling the messy truth deepened our practice and connection. Recovery lives in seasons. A single year can hold relapse, repair, loss, joy, and growth. Self-compassion keeps us in the game. Community regulates. Being seen and accompanied is nervous-system medicine. Don't white-knuckle alone. Follow the energy. Passion projects can be bridges to the next right thing. Notice what lights up your body, and go there. Leave with a bow. End before resentment. Miss it a little. That's how you know you honored it.

Notable Quotes "You can do it all… you just can't do it all well." "This isn't a breakup; it's a season shift." "Truth over PowerPoint." "We're ending it while we love it." "Take off the expert mask; keep the human."
