The West: Letting Go, Creating Space & Inviting Renewal

Published on: 8th September, 2025

In this episode of Magic in the Muck: A Soul’s Compass for Change, we journey West — the direction of release, reflection, and gentle letting go. Jennifer Nagel shares stories and practical guidance for noticing old patterns, softening rigid beliefs, and creating space for what wants to emerge.

Discover why letting go isn’t about rejecting yourself, but about cultivating awareness, self-compassion, and emotional freedom. Through a guided visualization and small daily practices, you’ll learn how to release what no longer serves you and invite renewal into your life.

Listen and reflect: What am I ready to release so something new can emerge?

What You’ll Hear:

  • Discover why endings and beginnings are inseparable — how release naturally supports new growth.
  • Learn the first step to releasing old patterns: cultivating awareness of what no longer serves you.
  • Explore why letting go isn’t about rejecting yourself, but about creating spaciousness for new possibilities.
  • Hear personal and client stories of transformation through intentional, gentle release.
  • Practice a guided visualization to help you release old beliefs, habits, and expectations.
  • Take away a daily “soft release” practice to weave calm, conscious transformation into your life.
