The Quiet Release - A Glimpse Into Chapter One of You Are Becoming

There is a moment when your soul gets quiet. Not because you have nothing to say but because you're finally hearing yourself. The noise around you fades. The pressure to explain dissolves. And what remains is a sacred stillness, not the stillness of giving up but of coming home. You may know this space. The space where love still lingers but alignment has left. Where the relationship you once fought for now feels unfamiliar. Where your spirit no longer feels safe performing, shrinking, or sacrificing just to be chosen.

A Snippet From You Are Becoming Book: To every wombman — A Snippet From *You Are Becoming* Book.

Chapter One of You Are Becoming is for the woman standing on that sacred threshold. She's not angry. She's not bitter. She's just done abandoning herself. This release isn't the ending you post about. It's not loud. It's not messy. It's deeply personal, achingly honest, and entirely necessary. You may be grieving in silence and still smiling in public but weeping behind closed doors and still loving someone you had to release. I am still learning how to stop explaining why peace costs what it costs.

And through all of it, you are not breaking. You are becoming.

Healing Reflection Questions:

How do I want to feel when I let go?
What am I holding on to that no longer holds me?
Where did I abandon myself to stay connected to people?
Who am I becoming in the absence of what I released?
What boundaries did I neglect, and how can I protect them moving forward?

Let your truth spill. You don't need permission to feel. You only need space to be.

Healing Ritual: Cleansing Bath

Draw a warm bath. Add sea salt, lavender, or rose petals. Let the water become your witness. As you step in, name what you are releasing. Say it out loud. Feel it leave your body. Let it dissolve into the water. When you're ready, drain the tub slowly. As the water leaves, speak these words with intention:

I release what no longer lives in me. I call back my power.

Wrap yourself in something soft, light a candle, and sit in your presence. You are sacred, safe, and whole.
