E111: Letting Go Of The Life You Imagined

Jill M. Lillard, MA LPC Season 2025 Episode 111

This is part 2 of the Loosening Your Grip Series.

You had a vision for how life would go- the timeline, the outcomes, the relationships. But what happens when reality looks nothing like the dream? In this episode, we’re talking about that gap. About what it means to release the picture you were holding and trust that God is still writing a good story. We’ll unpack Jacob’s striving, our tendency to grip tightly, and how letting go isn’t failure, rather  faith. If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through disappointment, or wondering where God is in the detours, this conversation is for you.

Relationship Reinvention is a  self-paced experience for couples who want to reset patterns, reconnect emotionally, and grow together with intention.

Walk through 12 meaningful sessions at your own pace—with guided conversations, practical tools, and lifetime access.
