36. Finding Freedom in Endings

Ever noticed how losing something unexpectedly creates space for something better? When my favorite kitchen appliance broke down after years of faithful service, I reluctantly went shopping for a replacement. What I discovered was something I never knew existed. This wasn't just a replacement; it was a significant upgrade that would never have entered my life had my old appliance not died.This experience perfectly mirrors so many transitions we face. Whether it's the end of a relationship, leaving a toxic workplace, or outgrowing a living situation, we often cling desperately to what's familiar—even when it no longer serves us. We tell stories that position ourselves as victims, focusing on what others did rather than how we responded or what we learned. Drawing from my own experiences working in construction (an industry that was clearly wrong for me) and observing friends emerging from controlling relationships, I explore how we become conditioned to accept limitations and walk on eggshells. The deconditioning process—rediscovering who we are without these external definitions—takes time but leads to profound freedom. So the next time something breaks down in your life, consider that it might be clearing space for an unexpected upgrade you never knew you needed.Send us Fan MailIf you want the deeper lessons behind strength training, join my newsletter called Between Reps: Building the Unbreakable Woman.
