How to Actually Let Go | Beyond Words| EP21

If it took you years to hold on, you won’t let go in a day.

In this powerful episode of Beyond Words, Najwa Zebian guides you through the real process of letting go, not by forgetting, but by feeling. She shares how to move through grief, release what’s no longer yours, and stop judging yourself for still caring.

This conversation will help you find peace with endings, make sense of emotional attachment, and rebuild a relationship with yourself after loss.

“Your struggle to let go is not weakness. It’s evidence of how deeply you love.”

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I move on?”, this episode is your reminder that healing isn’t a single decision — it’s a gentle, sacred process of coming back home to yourself.
