𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐨. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰.
At this month’s coffee chat, we dug into the themes of releasing what holds us back and embracing what helps us flourish—in business, in family, and in life. Thank you all for joining! Here are some of the reflections shared:

✨𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐨.
-Hire team members who free up your energy for what you do best
-Let go of others’ expectations and self-limiting beliefs
-Release the fear of judgment
-Stop hating the winter season—find beauty in it
-Let go of saying yes to everything
-Clear the clutter that keeps you “busy” to avoid the hard stuff
-Let go of trying to parent adult children—stand back and let them struggle
-Release what was so you can open up to what is
-Let go of the pain of being laid off and focus on new beginnings
-Prioritize connection with people over screen time

🌱 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰.
-Be weird—own what makes you different
-Raise your prices to reflect the value of your service
-Create a well-rounded environment for your family while balancing business
-Expand your speaking career—online and in person
-Grow your couples coaching program
-Focus your niche on helping others through life events
-Hire staff to support your growth
-Grow your network with others who share your business + life experiences
-Learn from others and lean on community
-Make wellness a top priority

➡️ What are you letting go of? And what’s ready to grow in your life?
