Stop Carrying What God Called You to Release//How to Let go Gracefully Before Entering the New Year

December 15, 2025 • Mariah Clayton

As the year comes to a close, many of us are carrying things we were never meant to take into the next season. Expectations. Guilt. Responsibilities that drain us. Relationships that no longer align. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to release without guilt and trust God with what we’re letting go of.

We explore how letting go is not failure or weakness, but an act of faith and obedience, and how making space is often the first step toward peace, rest, and what God wants to do next.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stretched thin heading into the new year, this episode is an invitation to loosen your grip and trust that everything will still be okay.
