What if surrender isn’t weakness, but wisdom? In this soulful episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, we unpack the radical strength of surrender—not as giving up, but as letting go of what no longer serves your nervous system, your healing, or your growth. We explore the difference between surrender and resignation, dive into the neuroscience of letting go, and share practical tools to help you release control without losing your center.
✨ Daily soul-stirring insights: Join me on Instagram @thelemontreecoaching for quotes from my weekly reads, reflections on burnout, betrayal, and healing, and gentle reminders that you’re not alone.
