Finding Peace Through Non-Attachment: How Letting Go Brings Freedom
In this episode of The Rising Podcast, host Janel explores the concept of non-attachment and how it can bring more peace and freedom into everyday life. She unpacks why letting go of rigid expectations—whether around careers, relationships, roles, or material possessions—can help us embrace the present moment with greater clarity.
Listeners will learn:
-- What non-attachment really means (and why it’s not the same as indifference).
-- How to soften your grip on titles, roles, or life plans when they shift unexpectedly.
-- The impact of identity loss during transitions like empty nesting, job changes, or career disruption.
-- Why grounding yourself in the present moment reduces anxiety, fear, and uncertainty.
-- Practical ways to release control and live with more openness, wholeness, and intention.
If you’ve been clinging tightly to how life should look—or struggling to find yourself in a new season—this episode offers tools, reflection prompts, and encouragement to anchor into the present and trust the unfolding journey.
