How To Let Go: A Practical Guide To Releasing What Holds You Back

With Rianna Hijlkema

This course is for anyone who has been told to "just let go" and found those words completely useless. It is not a course about pretending things did not hurt, rushing yourself through a timeline, or arriving at some peaceful place of acceptance on demand. It is an honest, practical guide to what letting go actually requires, and why most attempts at it do not work. Over five lessons, you will understand what letting go really means across every kind of loss and transition, why the strategies most people try keep them stuck, what your mind and body actually need before release becomes possible, and what it feels like to genuinely begin to move forward. This applies whether you are navigating a breakup, a job loss, a friendship ending, a missed opportunity, a grief you have carried for years, or an expectation you have been quietly furious about. Please note: this course deals directly with grief, loss, and emotional pain in many forms. Some content may bring up difficult feelings. That is not a side effect. That is the work.


Meet your Teacher

Rianna is a full-time traveler and serial entrepreneur since 2011. She is currently based in Bali, although rarely in one place for long. She spent six years navigating infertility: treatments, losses, and the grief of a future that would not happen, before she understood what letting go actually requires. It was not a mindset shift or a meditation. It was an honest confrontation with what she was still carrying and why. This course is built from that experience: what she tried, what failed, what finally moved, and what she wishes someone had told her at the beginning.

Lesson 1

What Letting Go Actually Means (And What It Doesn't)

Most people are trying to let go of the wrong thing. This lesson clears up the biggest misconceptions about letting go, whether from a breakup, a job, a dream, or a loss, and reframes what the process actually requires so it feels possible rather than impossible.

Lesson 2

Why You're Still Holding On

Holding on is not weakness. It is logic, built on beliefs your mind formed a long time ago. This lesson explores the real reasons we stay attached (to people, outcomes, identities, and expectations) and helps you find out exactly what is keeping you stuck.

Lesson 3

The Grief You Skipped

Most people try to let go without grieving first. It does not work. This lesson explains why grief is not optional, whether the loss is a person, a relationship, a dream, or a version of your life, and what it actually looks like to move through it rather than around it.

Excellent course that has helped to stop analyzing, arguing, replaying that which has happened that I cannot change. By letting go of all of this doesn’t mean it didn’t matter. What it means is I have the power to choose not to allow this to continue to have power over me. Highly recommend this course. Thank you!
