I'm not (necessarily) in control of my circumstances, but I can control how I respond to them.  I can control what I take on as truth from them and whether I allow them to become the definition of my life. A desire for control leads to perfectionism, fear of failure, low self-esteem, and insecurity.  In this episode I'll share how I've overcome my desire for control, and what I've learned about my self-criticism in the process.
