Dear Jen,
As I sit down to write this letter, I feel a mix of reflection and anticipation bubbling up inside me. It’s time for us to finally say goodbye to the old versions of ourselves, laying them to rest and showing the universe that we’re ready for something new. We’ve carried those attachment behaviors and self-sabotaging habits for too long, thinking they were protecting us. In truth, our bodies were trying to safeguard us, but we didn’t realise the sacrifices we made along the way without the awareness that these patterns were holding us back from the life we truly deserve. Now is the moment to celebrate the new version of ourselves that we’re stepping into.

Releasing Old Patterns
In this journey of transformation, I’m choosing to let go of several things that no longer serve us. Fear, that lingering shadow that casts doubt on our dreams, will no longer have a seat at our table. Instead, let’s release those limiting beliefs that have confined us, recognising that we’re capable of so much more than we’ve allowed ourselves to believe. Judgment—both of ourselves and others—will fade away, making room for acceptance and understanding. We all have our unique journeys, and that’s what makes our stories beautiful.
Forging My Own Path
Those societal expectations that feel like chains binding us to a predetermined path? It’s time to shatter them. We don’t have to conform to what others expect of us; instead, we can forge our own unique paths. Let’s release those self-protective yet sabotaging behaviors that have hindered our progress and prevented us from reaching our full potential. We’re not just stepping forward; we’re doing it consciously, with confidence and determination, one small step at a time.
Nurturing Kindness and Compassion
As we move forward, let’s bid farewell to unkindness—both towards ourselves and those around us. We’ve learned that true growth and fulfillment come from compassion, kindness, and love. By extending these qualities to ourselves and others, we create a nurturing environment where we can uplift and inspire each other. Together, we can build a community that thrives on support and understanding.
Making Space for Possibilities
In letting go of these aspects of our former selves, we’re making room for new possibilities. We embrace the limitless potential within us, ready to celebrate our lives in this new, authentic version we’re embodying. It’s a version that’s empowered and aligned with our true essence, and it’s ok to take the time to discover what that looks like for each of us.
Honouring the Journey
As we embark on this journey of self-awareness and growth, let’s remember to be gentle with ourselves. Change takes time, and we might stumble along the way. But with every stumble, we rise stronger and more resilient. We are not defined by our past but by the choices we make in the present moment. So, let’s honour our journeys, however winding they may be.
Celebrating Every Step
With every step forward, let’s celebrate our progress—no matter how small. Each step is a victory, a testament to the courage it takes to let go of the old and embrace the new. The universe is ready to witness the transformation from our old selves to the beautiful, authentic beings we are becoming.
So, here’s to us, dear Jen. Here’s to our shared journey of self-awareness, growth, and celebration.
Here’s to letting go, embracing the new, and living a life filled with authenticity, joy, and love. Let’s continue to support one another as we navigate our unique paths, knowing that each of us deserves the freedom to be our true selves.
With love and excitement for the future,
Love Always, Jen x
