## Resource

Episode 93 — You Can Close the Door on Your Past Some doors we carry with us everywhere we go. Doors to moments that hurt us, to versions of ourselves we're not anymore, to people who made us feel small or unsafe. We hang onto them like maybe if we keep turning them over, we'll finally understand why they closed the way they did. But here's the truth: the door isn't meant to be carried — it's meant to be walked through, and then left behind. In today's episode, we're exploring what it means to close the door on your past. Not to forget it, not to pretend it didn't shape you, but to finally stop living in its hallway. We'll talk about why we keep doors open, what closing them really means, and how to do it gently — on your own terms, at your own pace, without waiting for an answer that may never come. This is your gentle reminder that you are allowed to let go. You are allowed to close the door. And you are so much more than your past. --- ⏱ TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Opening — Doors we carry [01:30] Settling In — Checking in with yourself [04:00] Part One — Why we keep doors open [07:30] Part Two — How to close the door gently [10:00] Breathwork — Releasing the replay [11:00] Affirmations — I close the door on what no longer serves me [12:00] Closing — Choosing the life in front of you --- 🌿 AFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE • I close the door on what no longer serves me.

I am allowed to lock it and walk away. • Today, I choose the life in front…
