secrets from a girl

This episode is about why certain people trigger us, what that trigger is really about, and the practical tools to stop letting it run the show. Reclaiming your peace starts here.

Moving on isn’t forgetting. It isn’t performed happiness, and it definitely isn’t waiting until you feel ready. This episode gets into what moving on actually looks like from the inside and what you owe yourself in the in-between.

Before you can move forward, you have to actually feel what happened. This episode makes the case for sitting in it, instead of skipping past it. On the cost of rushing to be okay, and what it means to actually process something rather than just survive it.

In our episode this week, we kick off The Unraveling series with the question everyone avoids: what are we actually holding onto, and why is releasing it so much harder than it sounds? This episode gets honest about why letting go is an active choice, not something that just happens to you, and what becomes possible when you finally make it.Follow the show @thesecretsfromagirlpodFollow the host @danareitu
