Letting Go & Taking Hold

I just told my ex-wife that I love her.

This is after explaining to her that I want her to talk to me the way that honors who she thinks I can be and not who I was.

I got emotional and I could tell she did too, but we said our goodbyes and I feel good about our dynamic.

‘The best things in life are on the other side of a difficult conversation’ I’m celebrating right now that I found the courage the presence of mind, the faith in myself, the curiosity to establish my boundaries, reinforce them, and speak my heart.

Why did this conversation feel different from all the others where the results were… less positive?

I let go of the outcome.

This time, I told myself, ‘I’m saying this, no matter how she responds. I’m doing it for me, not for her.’

So, what about you?

Where can you step into a little more courage, a little more clarity?

What difficult conversation are you avoiding that’s taking up too much of your energy?

The best things in life really are on the other side of a tough conversation.

How can I help you get there?
