This week's word is RELEASE - and I have to be honest with you, this one is personal. I'm talking about what happens after someone goes "politely quiet" after weeks of real, intentional connection - and the story I caught myself writing in the silence. We're getting into the difference between what actually happened and what we decide it means, and why that story might be the very thing we need to release most. If you've ever found yourself gripping something - a hope, a narrative, a question about your own worth - this episode is for you. Come sit with me.
