[EP 47] Every New Season Requires Something to Die

About this episode

Audrey reflects on the necessity of letting go during transitions in life and leadership.

In this reflective episode, Audrey explores why every new season of life, leadership, and growth requires some kind of release. As summer begins and her birthday approaches, she reflects on personal transitions, shifting identities, and the quiet grief that can come with even good change. Growth often asks us to let go of what once worked, what once fit, or what once made us feel valuable. Through personal stories and leadership examples, Audrey invites listeners to consider what season they are actually in, what is trying to grow, and what may need to be released to make room for what’s next.
