The Quiet Practice — Episode 3: “Peace Comes from Clarity, Not Control”
We spend our lives trying to manage everything — the people, the pace, the outcome.
But what if peace doesn’t come from control… what if it comes from clarity?
In this episode, Boyd James Levitt — founder of Umbra Consulting, author of The Underachiever’s War, and host of The Quiet Practice — breaks down how true strength isn’t found in forcing results, but in mastering your response to them.
You’ll learn:
🧭 The psychology behind why control gives the illusion of peace — and why it never lasts.
✈️ Case studies that bring it to life — from airline pilots under pressure to parenting through chaos.
💬 The “90-Second Rule” for calming your reactions before they own you.
🪶 The “Control Columns” method for deciding what’s worth your energy.
🕯️ The “Five-Minute Audit” — a nightly reflection that turns overwhelm into focus.
This episode invites you to step back, breathe, and stop fighting battles you were never meant to win. Because peace doesn’t mean the absence of chaos — it means clarity in the middle of it.
“When you stop trying to control everything, you start mastering something — yourself.”
Listen. Reflect. Practice.
🕊️ The Quiet Practice — Deliberate. Daily. Growth.
