Thanks Andy. This is timely and helpful for me, and I'm sure to others. For me, 2025 is a year of slowing down, doing one thing at a time, letting go of expectations (especially around timing), and embracing surrender.

Thanks Andy. As they say "start running" as the advice for anyone needing a nudge towards entrepreneurship, "start slowing" is step 1 for anyone needing healing but feeling trapped

Letting go is so hard and the more independent you are the harder it is. I have struggled most my life with letting go, some call me "intense" or a "control freak" and I am because I don't want to be the one that fails because "I" didn't do something. It took a personal failure where I did everything humanly possible to stop but it didn't change the outcome before I could really appreciate how much you need to let go and trust the universe will work in your favor if you just go and trust in your fate.

Man, starting to see that I am a creature of habit. There is comfort in my familiar. Your comment about developing a more nuanced relationship with change has me thinking.

Change is the universal constant. Eventually, we must flow with it :)

Stunning thought. Surrender. I recently quit a job and have followed this path. In just a month, just so many opportunities have popped up. One i could have never planned. Now that I am not fighting with what doesnt resonate with me, there is just so much space to absorb it all. Thank you for sharing.
