Let It Burn: The Death and Rebirth of She Who Is You

The new year isn’t just about resolutions—it’s about renewal. It’s about courageously dismantling the parts of your life that no longer serve you, so you can create space for something new.

If you’ve ever felt an ache deep inside, a sense that your current life no longer fits, or that you’re meant for something more, you’re not alone. That ache is the signal that transformation is calling. But before the rebirth, there’s the death—the letting go.

In Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, she calls this process “letting it burn.” It’s the brave decision to walk into the unknown, to let the old crumble so something more aligned can rise in its place. It’s terrifying, yes. But it’s also liberating.

Signs You’re in the Death and Rebirth Process:

• You feel deeply unsettled—like the life you’re living doesn’t fit anymore.

• You crave more authenticity but fear the cost of living it.

• You experience a lot of “endings”—relationships, careers, or routines suddenly feel like they’ve run their course.

• You feel drawn to solitude—a natural step in reconnecting with yourself.

• You’re restless—a soul-deep urge to break free from what’s holding you back.

This is the perfect time to ask yourself: What kind of life, relationships, family, or world might I create if I had no fear?

Let this be the year you burn down the old and rise boldly into your new. The world is waiting for your brilliance.
