"You start with small things. Let someone else hold the list. Let a task go unfinished. Let the message go unanswered until you’re ready."

Yes this is how I had to unlearn and learn !!

This resonated deeply! I’ve been this high-functioning person my whole life and the learning over the past few years of foregoing control with a trusted partner or a sister has been life changing.

So glad this resonated. That shift, from doing it all to letting someone in, really does change everything. And doing it with people who’ve earned your trust? That’s where the real healing starts. Thank you for sharing this. 🖤

This was me for so many years. It took practice in a new relationship to realize I was safe allowing someone else to be responsible, trusting I wasn’t a burden to them.

It really does take practice to trust you’re not a burden and that it’s safe to let go. So glad you found that. 🖤

This speaks as a soul permission slip to let go and look within. It is SO true - grief and all the emotions can get so heavy, but when we permit ourselves to stop carrying and start learning, we can lean into love. Happy to meet you!

Letting go isn’t always easy, especially when the weight has been there for so long. But you’re right, when we give ourselves permission to stop carrying, something softer can finally take its place ❤️
