Ep. 06 How to Stop Controlling Everything (Without Spiraling): Your Guide to Surrendering Without Giving Up


Listen Later

In this episode, we unpack the powerful difference between intentional surrender and passive inaction—a distinction that can change the way you relate to uncertainty, healing, and your nervous system.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I letting go, or just giving up?”, this conversation is for you. We explore how control, fear of the unknown, and a hypervigilant nervous system can keep you in survival mode—and how to begin shifting into a place of trust and inner safety.

You’ll learn:

The nervous system’s role in resisting surrender
How to recognize avoidance vs. conscious release
Somatic practices to support surrender, like breathwork, body-based awareness, and mantra work
How spiritual or higher power beliefs can support this process

This episode blends somatic healing, trauma-informed coaching, and practical tools to help you loosen your grip without losing your power.
