There may a role you need to resign from soon. A role that is not serving you well. It might even be making you unwell.
I realized this week there was a role I had taken on (unknowingly) that wasn’t serving me. It drained me in certain situations and kept me from reaching more people with my work.
This came to light at the same time my husband surprised me with an announcement that he was resigning from one of his roles in the company we’ve built together over the past 13 years.
He has been in the role of ‘Chief Happiness Officer’ for our team for many years. That has been a role he gladly and proudly took on. Now his main focus is on his books and new programs on creativity and spirituality. He felt his past primary focus on others’ needs rather than his soul’s calling is not in his, mine, our team’s, or our clients highest interests.
I completely agree with him.
The role I’m resigning from is what I call the ‘Towboat Captain.’
I sincerely hope that our resignation letters inspire you to resign from a role that is keeping you stuck, draining your life force and not in alignment with Divine Truth.
Check out the Awaken TV episode that shares more details about the Towboat Captain and why I had to let it go.
What are you ready to resign from? Please leave your own resignation letter under the video as I’d love to support you in this process too.
Much love,

This is really powerful. I find that I am being called to let go of the role of Everybody’s Savior. I joyfully resign from this role. It has hindered me from taking care of myself and attending to the things that I need to be attending to. I release this role with love, it has served me well, but it is time to step into my new role of lighthouse, beacon of love, standing in my own strength and power, no longer responsible to save others. So it is Amen.
Likewise Janice!
Interesting timing. I’ve been thinking of leaving my Saturday morning job at another acupuncture office for a while now. He’s a friend, helped me out when I needed some work, so feel guilty even though I know he’ll be fine with it. So perhaps on Saturday I will be resigning as “hanger on out of obligation”!
Perfect timing❤️ I recently resigned from the self-appointed role of “celebration coordinator” in the mental health clinic where I serve as an RN. There are a few other resignations in the works as well but I will save those for after I complete them. Amazing the tasks we delegate to ourselves. The funniest part is that not a single coworker responded to my resignation! Apparently no one even cared that this was something I was doing “for them”.
I always take my birthday off to celebrate elsewhere. Maybe they will take note and do the same.
I resign from my role as my family’s Wellness Officer. I accept that I am not responsible, nor can I control, their health and happiness. I accept a new role as the Lighthouse Keeper. I tend to myself so that I shine brighter; they can feel my radiance, but it doesn’t drain or diminish me.
Dear Universe and Beyond
I, Maree …………………… hereby resign from the role of Nursing Mother. I let go of the role of feeding and nurturing my “children” (family and friends) physically, psychologically and spiritually.
I release this role with much love, gratitude and excited joy.
I have stayed a long time in this role and whilst it has been wonderful it is has become detrimental to my well-being and authenticity. It also appears this role has become redundant in many cases. I let go of all strings attached to this role.
I now choose to take on the role of self-nurturing lighthouse and spend more time and effort supporting my physical needs and creative endeavours whilst emanating light from my authentic inter-dimensional self.
And so it is…..
I, Clare, declare I no longer want to hear tales of woe! I resign. Best wishes!
Today I resign from the roll of The Fixer. I have taken on this role even before things are broken. This resignation will free me to focus on educating to enable empowerment one person at a time. I am grateful for the gifts I have experienced for having embraced that role which I have now outgrown. Letting go brings me back to the light inside that radiates when true connection occurs.
Here is my reply to a role that’s not serving me
I’ve created a pattern with a few friends in my life where I’m in serves to there needs being met
I base my connection on these roles
That if I’m available to always saying yes to there needs I feel a place of belonging
But my intention behind this does two things
I contact and feel small shame and unworthy and yet my worthy ness is based on my role of being needed
This creates a lot of conflict in me
I created this role with my mother when I was very little
It’s old yet it’s something I’m becoming aware of
Today in this moment I embrace that taking time to honour my truth first creates inclusion which allows me to expand and be more present in my adult self rather then my wounded child reliving past hurt
Thank you for this today it’s prefect timing
Much love
The role I’m giving up is the Making Money in a Souless Job role. For too long I’ve been trading my time for money working in different jobs that don’t nourish my soul. I’m done with that role! It has served me over the years, but it’s time to move on to follow my soul’s calling.
I took on a role of not being too happy so others felt okay around me and comfortable in my presence after my partner 25 years ago told me i am too happy and it was too much for people.
I now resign from this role as it does not serve me to put my self in a lower vibration to make others feel comfortable and instead i take on the role to accept my self as a high vibrational soul of joy , Jai ma
These are wonderful! May all of you ladies enjoy the freedom from these roles. What are you going to fill your newly-created time with?
This one is an edge for me. I feel fear bubbling as my fingers move to type. ((((( breath ))))))) Dear God, I hereby Resign my role as seeker. I Love exploring spiritual practices and gleaning insights from wise teachers. And. This practice, although valuable in many cases, has reached a detriment. I find myself searching outside of myself for answers instead of doing the work to go In ~ to let Truth come through. There has been a lot of confusion in my world lately .. my ego gripping tightly – my controller grasping – trying to keep it all together. And. No one has the answers to my questions but me. It is time to Trust my wisdom. It is time to stop putting off offering my gifts because I am still not ‘ready’. Where I am is Perfect.
Thank You
Love, Molly
Hmmm…..this is very thought provoking and there are sooo many roles that come to mind that I could resign from! However, I think for as long as I can remember, it pains me to say that I can be a People Pleaser. I think its a role that was created by myself when I was not so popular back in school and in my early adolescent years. And occasionally by others that have witnessed some behaviour that goes with it. So…..I Alison, officially resign from my role as a People Pleaser. I will tell myself that it is okay to be my authentic self, and not what others would prefer to me to be. It is okay not to have to say yes and do things for others all the time when it is compromising on my own health and well being. I will choose not to go with the crowd when I have a different opinion and believe that its okay to be alone than in a group where you dont belong.
