In this episode Gabby talks about the importance of letting go, & how just like some trees need to shed their leaves to make way for new growth, we as human beings need to go through periods of shedding.

There are times where there is power in letting go of what & who no longer serves us in our lives, so that we can consciously make space for our own growth, development, & wellbeing.
