Letting Go to Shine Brighter

Radiance isn’t just about what we bring into our lives. It’s also about what we’re willing to release. Sometimes the reason our light feels dim isn’t because we’re missing something — it’s because we’re carrying too much.

We hold on to old stories, heavy relationships, unrealistic expectations, and habits that drain us. At first, it feels safer to cling to them than to let them go. But the truth is, they block our light.

I’ve been there. Holding on to something that felt familiar, even when I knew it no longer aligned with who I was becoming. It was hard to loosen my grip — but the moment I did, I felt lighter. My light wasn’t hidden anymore.

Letting go doesn’t always feel like a celebration. Sometimes it feels like grief. But grief clears the space for radiance. Release isn’t about losing — it’s about creating room for your glow to expand.

As we close the year, December invites us to shed what no longer serves so we can step into 2026 brighter, freer, and more radiant.

What’s one thing you’re ready to release before the year ends — a habit, a thought, or even a way of being that no longer fits?

Write it down. Burn it, rip it up, or simply let it sit on paper as your quiet commitment to shine brighter.
