When Letting Go Feels Impossible

Jun 25, 2025

Dear Beloved Friend,

Last week, we opened up about the unexpected portal that AI led us through, a conversation that was as much about presence as it was about the future.

This week, we’re going even deeper.
Not into technology.
But into something much more human. Much more tender.

Grief.

Before we move on, we have a live YouTube call this Friday, June 27th at Noon (Pacific Time). We will be providing an Energy Update for July 2025 as well as answering some of your most thought-provoking questions. We look forward to being with you soon. Join us on Friday HERE.

We didn’t plan to record this conversation.
It was sparked by a message from one of you, asking how we got through it. The heartbreak. The loss. The letting go.

So, we sat down and told the truth. Without planning, we shared things we’ve never shared publicly.

In this episode of The Timing Effect Podcast, we talk about the grief that shaped us and the quiet ways we tried to escape it.

We share:

đź’” The moments that broke us open
đź’” The ways we tried to bypass grief (and how it caught up with us anyway)
💔 The real reason healing didn’t begin until we stopped trying to "get over it"
đź’” The sacred structure we eventually found inside the mess

This isn’t just about the grief of losing someone.

It’s about the grief of becoming someone new.

If you’re carrying something heavy right now, we hope this conversation meets you gently, like a hand on your back, reminding you that you’re not alone. That you’re not broken. That your healing has its own timeline.

We’re walking with you.

With love and timing,
Matt & Joy

PS: Next week, we’re exploring surrender. Not the kind that gives up, but the kind that lets go. We’ll talk about what real surrender feels like and why giving in might be the bravest thing you do.

Why It's Hard Keeping Up With Spiritual Practices
  Hi Lovebug, Most people abandon a spiritual practice for one reason: it did not deliver the experience they wanted fast enough. We treat meditation, prayer, breathwork, journaling, or energy work like a vending machine — insert twenty minutes, receive calm, clarity, a healed relationship, or a signed client. And when the payoff does not arrive on schedule, we conclude the practice is not wor...
You Did Not 'Attract That' To Learn A Lesson
  Dear Lovebug,Healing is not an itemized list of things wrong with us that must be corrected before life is allowed to feel good. Healing is the power of course correction — the ability to notice we have drifted a few degrees off, and to choose again. That distinction changes everything, because a list can never be finished, while a course can always be adjusted. Consider how arduous the jour...
What To Do When Someone Gets You Wrong
Dearest Lovebug, Some moments don't go as imagined. We say something or do something and the response from others is unexpected. Misunderstandings are at the heart of most communication mishaps so we wanted to dive into that topic with you today. When someone gets you wrong, the instinct to correct them is the exact thing that costs you the most. We all know the feeling. You are in a conversati...
