Your nEXt Chapter

We all go through life's messiness, and some of us try our very best to make things work, giving all our effort until it consumes us. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Surrender holds a power beyond our own efforts. When we choose to surrender, we allow ourselves to step back, not from our responsibilities, but from the pressure to force outcomes that may not be aligned with our true path.

In this episode with Coach Melissa Brown, we'll unpack the intricacies of surrender and what it truly means to release our grip on the outcomes we envision. Melissa sheds light on the journey of letting go and aligning our goals with a higher purpose.
