There comes a time when you know it’s complete.

I went back for the 20th anniversary of Verge Yoga,the business I built and led for 16 years.

It was beautiful. Bittersweet.Old friends. Long hugs.But I left knowing something clear.

My work there is done.That story’s been told.

We carry stories long after they’re finished.Jobs. Roles. Identities.Out of pride.Out of fear.Because we forget who we are without them.

But at some point, you feel it.This is done.Not bad. Not wrong. Just complete.

To move on, be honest.Close the chapter.

It’s hard to start the next thingwhile clinging to the last.

Say it’s over.Let it go.Know it’s led you here.And don’t look back.

✨Stuck in the past is a hard place to live.

Let’s get you moving.
