Summary

In this week's episode, Michael gently guides you through the art of letting go. In this calming and reflective episode, Michael explores the complex emotions that come with releasing the past, shedding the weight of what no longer serves us, and embracing the uncertain yet promising future. By sharing a touching story of a client who grappled with the end of a 15-year marriage, Michael demonstrates how letting go isn't merely about parting with something or someone; it's about relinquishing the need to control the outcome. Through this practice, we find freedom and inner peace by unburdening ourselves from attachment, suffering, and dissatisfaction. Learn to recognize that it's okay to mourn the future you had envisioned but will never be. Discover how holding on to what is familiar, even when it no longer holds value, keeps us trapped in fear. Michael's gentle guidance will help you navigate the process of letting go and find your way back to your true self. If you're grappling with holding on to something in your life that no longer serves you, this episode offers valuable insights into how to release and begin crafting a new vision for your future, aligning with your core values and desires. The episode concludes with a soothing visioning meditation led by Michael, allowing you to connect with your inner desires and gently release the past. Take a deep breath, breathe out, and let it all settle. ~~ Email the show at lettingitsettle@michaelgalyon.com Subscribe to Letting It Settle+ on Apple Podcasts or on Supercast: https://lettingitsettle.supercast.com ~~ Follow Michael on Instagram: @michael.galyon TikTok: @coachmichael1 Visit his website at ⁠https://www.michaelgalyon.com/⁠ Check out Michael's upcoming projects, coaching opportunities, courses, and more at ⁠https://beacons.ai/michaelgalyon⁠ ~~ Letting It Settle with Michael Galyon is brought to you by Good Mess Media.

0:00.0	Hi, just checking in seeing how you're doing today.
0:08.0	And just seeing if you might want to take a little break, step away from the noise of the world
0:13.0	for just a moment and connect back with you.
0:16.0	If so, let's take a deep breath in and breathe out.
0:23.3	And let it all settle.
0:25.9	I'm your host, Michael Gallion, and this is letting it settle.
0:34.0	Dear old work platform, it's not you, it's us. Actually, it is you. Endless onboarding? Constant IT bottlenecks? We've had enough. We need a platform that just gets us. And to be honest, we've met someone new. They're called Monday.com, and it was love at first onboarding.
0:55.8	They're beautiful dashboards. Their customizable workflows got us floating on a digital cloud nine.

1:57.0	the surrender. And while you may often feel the need to hold on so tightly to the things that bring you joy
2:03.6	and fear of losing them,
2:06.6	and push so hard against the things that cause you discomfort and fear that they might stay forever,
