Ep. 3: Clearing Out Old Energy

Getting rid of it isn’t just about cleaning out a closet… it’s about releasing the weight you’ve been carrying in silence.

In this freeing, grounded episode, Augusta shares the moment she stood in front of her closet and realized certain clothes weren’t just clothes, they were memories. Pain. Versions of herself she had outgrown. From a pink sweater that pulled her back into sadness, to designer heels she wore while pretending everything was fine, she walks you through the emotional purge that helped her finally breathe again.

If you’ve been trying to heal but still feel stuck, this episode will remind you: you can’t receive what’s next while holding tightly to what broke you.

Before Augusta could fully step into her next chapter, she had to clear what was keeping her anchored to the past.

In this intimate episode of A Gust of Win, she takes you inside the sacred process of letting go...not just of things, but of the emotional residue attached to them.

Through raw storytelling and reflection, Augusta shares:

• The closet moment that made her face what she was holding onto
• Why certain clothes, shoes, and items carry emotional energy
• The surprising freedom that came after releasing almost 80% of what she owned
• The peace of selling her wedding dress for a fraction of its value
• The one item she regrets letting go — and what it taught her about memory and motherhood

This episode is not about throwing things away… it’s about making room for peace, for healing, and for the woman you’re becoming.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why every object holds memory, and how that impacts your healing
• How to tell the difference between sentiment and emotional weight
• Why “clutter” can actually be unresolved grief
• What to do when guilt, nostalgia, and resistance show up
• A simple release practice to help you start letting go without overwhelm
• How clearing physical space can create emotional and spiritual space

Episode Highlights:

• The pink Zara sweater that held sadness in its seams
• The designer pieces Augusta released to free herself from “pretending”
• The wedding dress sale that healed
• Why you can’t heal in the same environment that broke you
• The one thing she wishes she kept: Graysen’s Lakers hat
• The challenge: release one thing this week and notice what shifts
