You Can’t Keep Everything Alive: It’s Not Giving Up—It’s Growth

It’s Not Giving Up—It’s Growth

There’s something sacred about this part of summer—the heavy heat, the slowing down, the realization that some of the things you’ve been tending just aren’t going to make it. And maybe that’s not a bad thing. Maybe it’s time.

I recorded this episode as a gentle but truthful check-in for anyone feeling stretched thin, holding on too tightly, or wondering why it feels so hard to keep everything going. You’re not alone—and you’re not wrong for feeling it.

We’ve been taught to nurture everything. To never give up. But truthfully? That’s not sustainable. Especially when the “everything” includes outdated roles, old expectations, relationships that no longer fit, and versions of ourselves we’ve long since outgrown.

Sometimes, the most loving, freeing thing you can do is stop trying to save what’s already letting go.

This week’s message is short, soulful, and soaked in grace. It’s your reminder that release is not the same as failure. That surrender can actually be sacred. And that growth often begins right where something else ends.

Final Thoughts

This season doesn’t need you to hold everything together. It invites you to trust what’s unfolding. The sun is hot. The garden is thinning. But maybe—just maybe—you’re being prepared to thrive where it truly matters.

You were never meant to keep it all alive.
Just what’s truly yours.
