Are you holding on so tightly to the past—whether it’s a job, a relationship, or even a self-limiting belief—that you’ve left no space for growth?
In this episode of Empowerment Junction, we explore the life-changing power of letting go. Drawing on research, scripture, and even a touching childhood story Trevor Noah shares in Born a Crime, you’ll discover that letting go isn’t about losing—it’s about creating space for new opportunities, deeper peace, and greater abundance.
You’ll walk away with practical steps to identify what you’re tolerating, release what no longer serves you, and step into renewal with clarity and purpose.
