Hello there dear hearts,
This past week, Tony and I sat in conversation with our friend, author, Michael Singer. It was the kind of conversation that leaves you quieter on the inside, more spacious somehow, like something in you has been gently rearranged.
Something Mickey said to us has settled into me deeply.
He shared that his own personal practice, all his teachings, and the core of his new book — WISDOM Untethered: The Time For Questions — is at its heart, ONE single question that life is asking each of us in every moment:
I thought of a time a few years back when Tony and I were navigating a legal circumstance that was everything but pleasant.
I remember Mickey saying to me, Sage, just keep letting go.
And so I took his advice. Not perfectly. Not without waves of discomfort, overwhelm, and terror. But I held onto a North Star:
I will keep letting go in the name of my peace.
And it’s grip on me eventually dissolved. Not because I forced it. Because I stopped resisting it.
That is the paradox Mickey illuminates so beautifully: we spend enormous units of energy pushing life away, and in doing so, we actually hold it bound inside.
The moment we stop resisting, we stop storing. And then there is openness, flow, grace.
Michael calls it, “relax and release.”
And in my experience, that is exactly what it is. Not giving up. Not checking out. Just a softening of the grip.
And maybe that’s the quiet invitation life is offering each of us right now…
When something inside us tightens...
When the mind wants to argue with reality...
When life doesn’t look the way, we hoped it would ...
Pause and ask: Am I willing to let go?
Because in that moment, something extraordinary happens.
The mind settles. The heart opens. And the units of energy we were using to resist a circumstance becomes the energy that allows life to move through us.
That’s the doorway Michael Singer has spent decades helping people like you and me walk through. And it’s the heart of his new book, WISDOM Untethered.
Within its pages Michael fields questions from brothers and sisters on the path asking the questions many of us carry quietly inside.
I encourage you to pick up this book. Maybe it can be the first book of our book club. Read a few pages in the morning. Return to it when life feels overwhelming. Or share it with someone whose heart needs a reminder right now.
Because sometimes the most powerful shift in our lives begins with one profound question: Am I willing to let go?

Where are you “relaxing and releasing” this week, and what did you notice when you did?
Your reflection may be exactly what someone else needs to read.
See you there. And as always, I am so grateful to be on this path with you.
With love,
Sage 🤍
P.S. Mickey's new book Wisdom Untethered is available for pre-order now and delivers on March 17th!
