Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Podcast!

Ever feel like you can’t quite get to yourself?

Nietzsche said it well: “Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.” Sometimes, our busyness hides a deeper escape from who we really are.

On a flight to Dubai, I caught myself in this very escape, preparing for an intense stretch of work. It’s a familiar rhythm for anyone balancing creativity with client demands. We find a groove where “life works with us”—until it shifts unexpectedly, pulling us back into chaos.

This week, I’m exploring a paradox: the more we try to control, the further we get from it. Real growth, I’m learning, happens when we surrender control, even when it feels impossible.

This episode is for creatives who balance passion with work demands. We’ll explore how embracing chaos can be your superpower and why surrendering to life’s unpredictability can unlock new creative flow.

Highlights:

• 🌀 Navigating Control vs. Chaos: Discover why unpredictability might be your secret weapon.
• 🎭 Balancing Being and Doing: Learn how aligning who you are with what you do fuels sustainable creativity.
• 🌊 Surrendering to the Unexpected: Find out why letting go can be the ultimate unlock.
• 🚧 Turning Resistance into Growth: See how tasks you avoid can lead to breakthroughs.
• 💪 Strength Beyond Limitations: Tap into a resolve that fuels work and self.

Even when we feel lost, there’s a path to clarity. When we surrender to what life brings, we find strength beyond our limits—a resolve that fuels our work and sense of self.

If you're ready, then let's dive in!
