What Are You Holding Onto? 5 Signs It’s Time to Release
Feeling stuck, scattered, or weighed down? Discover 5 gentle (and slightly cheeky) signs it’s time to release what no longer serves you—and how energy art can support your journey to clarity, peace, and transformation.
5 Signs It's Time to Release
We often think of letting go as something dramatic—an emotional goodbye, a ceremonial bonfire, maybe even some dramatic music playing in the background. But real release? It’s quieter. It’s that small, persistent whisper that says: this no longer fits.
Release isn’t about losing—it’s about creating space. Space for healing, clarity, and all the good things waiting to find you once you finally let go of what’s been weighing you down.
(Trust me: that old story you’ve been carrying? It’s heavier than you think.)
1. You Feel Stuck—No Matter How Hard You Try
You’re doing all the “right” things—vision boards, journaling, maybe even color-coding your planner—and still… crickets. Sometimes it’s not about trying harder. Sometimes it’s about loosening your grip and making room for something better. Release clears the runway so you can finally take off.
That wisdom continues to guide both my life and my art.

2. The Same Old Stories Keep Playing on Repeat
You know that playlist you’ve been looping in your mind? The one with all the doubts, fears, and what-ifs? Yeah, it’s time to hit stop. Release helps you retire the old soundtrack and write a new score—one that actually sounds like you.

Lightness lives on the other side of release.
3. Your Energy Feels Heavy or Scattered
You wake up tired even after eight hours of sleep. Your to-do list feels overwhelming. Your brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open. That heaviness isn’t laziness—it’s old energy hanging around past its expiration date. Release it, and you might just find clarity (and your missing car keys).

4. You Find Yourself Clinging to What’s Comfortable, Not What’s Right
Sure, comfort zones feel cozy. (That’s why we like them.) But they’re also where dreams quietly go to die. If you’re staying just because it’s familiar, it might be time to trade comfort for courage. Release helps you step into the unknown—where all the magic happens.
5. Deep Down, You Know
Even if you can’t explain it, there’s that little voice inside. The one that gently (or sometimes not so gently) says: It’s time. Spoiler alert: that voice is usually right. Trust it. Release what no longer fits, and watch what opens up.
The Gentle Power of Release
Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s opening up. It’s choosing to create space for what’s next. It’s trusting that lighter and clearer are not just possible but waiting for you.
That’s the energy behind my Release series—art created with flowing textures, soft dissolves, and sacred symbols like the Fractal Heart and Seed of Life. Art that holds the vibration of surrender, healing, and new beginnings.
I invite you to explore the Release Collection—artwork created to support your journey of letting go. Each piece is an energetic companion, infused with sacred symbols like the Fractal Heart and Seed of Life to support your healing journey.and the healing intention to help you breathe easier, feel lighter, and create space for what’s next.
