In this powerful episode of Allow Yourself Grace, host Courtney Christten opens up about the emotional journey of releasing the survival version of yourself—the version that had to be strong, silent, guarded, or perfect just to make it through. Growth requires letting go. Healing requires honesty. And grace gives us the space to do both.

Tune in as we explore what it means to give yourself permission to evolve, to no longer carry what isn’t yours, and to embrace the person you’re becoming. Because survival is not your final destination—freedom is.
