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.

Why You're Still Holding On

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.
