"Welcome back to Equanimity: Letting Go of Attachments. I'm your host, Master Rinda."

Through friendships, family changes, heartbreaks, and new beginnings, I've learned that relationships are living things. They grow, shift, and sometimes—despite our hopes—they end.

Today, we'll gently explore what it means to stay steady when relationships change or come to a close, and how equanimity can help you let go with dignity and compassion.

I'm grateful you're here. This is a soft space to breathe and honor the seasons of your connections.

Change in relationships can feel painful, confusing, or even frightening. You might wonder what you did wrong. You might replay old memories. You might cling to who someone used to be.

But equanimity teaches us that change is part of being alive.

People grow. Circumstances shift. Paths diverge. And sometimes, love or connection evolves into a different form.

Accepting change is not giving up—it is acknowledging reality with compassion.

Letting go does not mean forgetting. Letting go does not mean you no longer care. Letting go means you stop holding on so tightly that it hurts.

You can honor what the relationship meant without clinging to what it no longer is.

Bitterness drains your energy. Blame keeps you stuck. But when you release the need to control or rewrite the past, you make space for healing.

Equanimity helps you let go without anger. It helps you stay soft without losing strength.

You are allowed to grieve the end of a chapter. You are allowed to feel sadness or confusion. These emotions mean the connection mattered.

Releasing attachment to past roles creates room for growth—for both of you. Sometimes endings lead you back to yourself. Sometimes they open new possibilities. Sometimes they teach you who you're becoming.

If you're moving through a changing or ending relationship, take a gentle breath. You don't have to rush your healing. You don't have to pretend you're okay.

You simply need to stay present with what is true.

Thank you for sharing this moment with me.
