Episode 61: The Night I Let the Light Go

In this episode of Tea with Self, I share a quiet lesson from the Water Lantern Festival, a day that began with restlessness and ended in peace.

What started as a simple outing turned into an invitation to stop chasing calm and let it find me instead. As the lanterns drifted across the water, I released the weight of striving, proving, and performing, and made space to invite in ease, trust, and stillness.

For the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel the need to capture the moment. I simply lived it. This is a story about surrender, about learning that stillness isn’t empty, it’s full. Full of peace, presence, and the quiet truth of who we are when we finally stop running.
