This is our last episode of the year and I'm so grateful to be connecting with you again. This week, we are exploring the idea of letting go.
For the first half of the episode, we will discuss letting go when we are working through things and how to set boundaries with ourselves. As with all things, balance is key.
In the second half, we will talk about standards and expectations that may be holding us back, how we can gain insight into our beliefs, and we can start living a life aligned with who we truly are.
Topics covered:
- Feeling our feelings vs. living in our feelings
- Regulating ourselves and cultivating security
- Tips for secure relating + letting go
- Distinguishing between what is serving us and what is not
- Decluttering and getting to the core of what we can learn form an experience and letting go of the rest
- Exploring standards and expectations + letting go
- Establishing our core values and how we can live in alignment with them
- When you look back on your life, what do you want to feel?
- Considerations for peace
- Final notes on letting go
Thank you so much for being here with me and for your continued support! I love and appreciate you all. Happy holidays and happy new year!
Happy listening!

Customer Reviews
Podcast changed my life
I’ve recently been going through many traumatic life experiences, many to do with relationships as well as important life decisions. And although this podcast is not a replacement to therapy, it has changed my behavior and overall way of thinking for the better tenfold. I have recommended to many of my friends and they have told me the same. Genevieve is indeed very knowledgeable and I love her passionate way of speaking to us in the way she does.
Great Podcast✨✨
I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for creating such an impactful podcast! I believe that we all have a voice that deserves to be heard. Thank you for putting this into the world! BE UNBROKEN! @MichaelUnbroken
Very Eye Opening
