In this episode of Layers of Now, I explore the tension between chaos and control in our everyday lives. Using the guiding words of Buddhist nuns, poets, philosophers, and authors, I reflect on the struggle to release our grip on life's messiness and find meaning in its uncontrollable twists and turns.

I share personal reflections on why defying chaos is as futile—and as natural—as trying to defy gravity. This audio journal became my way of processing what it means to live without trying to micromanage every detail, especially since I missed therapy this week.

Join me as I make sense of it all—or at least try to.
