Letting go isn’t failure — it’s faith in motion. And sometimes the very thing you’re fighting to hold onto is the thing God’s trying to free you from.

In this episode of Go, Get a Life, we step into the sacred, often-overlooked work of release. Because grief, surrender, and quiet obedience are not signs of weakness — they’re signs you’re making space for something new. If you’re standing in that strange in-between, where one chapter is ending and the next hasn’t yet begun, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why release isn’t rejection — it’s redirection
• What grief can teach you about honoring the end of a season
• The illusion of control and why surrender leads to peace
• The power of the “in-between” and how God moves in the quiet
• How to practice letting go in tangible, heart-centered ways

This episode is a reminder:

You’re not being punished. You’re being prepared. And the space you’re clearing? It’s not empty — it’s sacred.

This week’s reflection prompt: “What am I holding onto that’s already ended? And what might I be making room for if I release it?”

We’ve been taught that forgiveness and reconciliation are the same thing—but they’re not. One sets your heart free. The other decides who gets to walk with you going forward. And those two things? Don’t have to go hand in hand.

In Part 4 of The Letting Go Sessions, we’re getting honest about what it really means to forgive without guilt, love from a distance, and set boundaries that protect your peace. Because healing doesn’t mean inviting everyone back in—it means releasing them without reliving the hurt.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why forgiveness and access are two different things
• How to release someone without reopening the door
• The guilt that shows up when peace requires distance
• What Scripture actually says about peace, protection, and proximity
• How boundaries are part of healing—not the opposite of it

This episode is your permission slip:

• You can bless them… and still block the reentry.
• You can release resentment… and still hold the line.
• You can walk in love… and still choose to walk away.

This week’s reflection prompt:

• Where have you been confusing forgiveness with reunion?
• What would it look like to hold your boundary—without guilt, without apology?

We live in a world that praises toughness and speed—but what if real strength looks different? What if it’s quiet, rooted, and soft?

In Part 3 of The Letting Go Sessions, we explore the often-misunderstood power of gentleness. This episode is for every woman who's ever been told she’s too sensitive, too kind, or too soft to lead. Because healing doesn’t make you hard. It makes you whole. And softness isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom that’s learned how to breathe.

In this episode, we explore:

• The difference between armor and boundaries
• Why softness can be a spiritual strength
• What it looks like to lead, live, and love from a grounded place
• How gentleness protects your peace without sacrificing clarity
• Why healing invites you to open, not shut down
• Practical ways to stay soft in a world that rewards hardness

This episode is your reminder:

• You can be both healed and tender.
• You can hold boundaries without building walls.
• You can lead with love—and still stand strong.

 "The healed version of you doesn’t need to defend herself—she just stands, gentle and grounded, knowing that peace doesn’t need to shout."

They say joy is contagious—so what if you were the carrier?

In this episode of Go, Get a Life, we’re unpacking what it means to choose joy—on purpose. Not when life’s perfect, but right in the middle of the mess. Because joy isn’t a reaction. It’s a choice. A mindset. A ministry. And when you choose it? It multiplies.

This episode is a reminder that your presence sets the tone—and your joy might be the very thing someone else is praying for.

Here’s what we cover:

• What it means to be a “joy carrier” and why your presence matters
• The science behind emotional contagion (and how your energy spreads)
• Why joy doesn’t require perfection—it’s a decision, not a destination
• How to bring light into rooms—without faking, performing, or shrinking
• The spiritual roots of joy (and how scripture calls us to reflect it)
• Practical habits that help you lead with joy daily
• A challenge to intentionally spark light—before the mood strikes

Joy is more than a feeling—it’s a strategy. A way to live, lead, and love from a place of hope.

What if the path doesn’t get clear until you move?

In this episode of Go, Get a Life, we’re talking about what it really means to live with reckless faith—the kind that moves before the map appears. This isn’t about chaos or careless decisions. It’s about deeply rooted trust. The kind that says yes even while your hands are still shaking.

This one’s for the woman standing on the edge of a decision, a calling, or a dream… whispering, “Is it safe to jump?”

Here’s what we explore:

• What reckless faith is (and what it’s not)
• Why playing it safe may be the bigger risk
• The tension between fear and trust—and how both can coexist
• Biblical stories that show us faith in motion
• A bold challenge to take the next step—even without guarantees
  
  

Reckless faith isn’t about knowing the outcome. It’s about trusting the One who called you. You don’t need certainty. You just need your next yes.
