The Power of Letting Go: Choosing Yourself Even When It Hurts
This deeply personal episode marks two years since Milo chose sobriety—a decision that changed everything. But this isn’t just about quitting alcohol. It’s about identity, belonging, and the pain that comes with becoming who you truly are.
Milo opens up about the loneliness that followed—how the crowd thinned, the group chats fell silent, and the friends he once thought would be there forever disappeared. But through that pain came clarity, strength, and a deeper sense of self.
This episode isn’t just about Milo’s climb—it’s about yours, too. Whether your version is leaving a relationship, setting a boundary, or walking away from an old identity, this reflection will remind you that what falls away wasn't meant to stay—and what remains will feel like home.

This episode is a powerful companion for anyone walking a path of self-return.
