We all want to feel safe—but what happens when our pursuit of safety turns into obsession? In this episode, we unpack the illusion of control: the sneaky ways we try to outsmart uncertainty with over-preparedness, rituals, and obsessive habits. We explore how extreme coping strategies can feel like protection but often backfire, leaving us more anxious than before. Let’s talk about finding real peace in the chaos, and what it means to cope in a healthy, sustainable way. Spoiler: you can’t bubble-wrap your whole life.
