EPISODE 7: When You’re Tired of Holding It All Together
What if the thing that’s actually keeping you stuck… is trying to hold everything together?
In this episode, we talk about powerlessness — not as weakness, but as the beginning of real peace. Because whether it’s addiction, anxiety, control, or just trying to keep everyone else happy… eventually we all hit a point where white-knuckling life doesn’t work anymore.
We get real about:
• What powerlessness actually looks like (and what it doesn’t)
• Our own stories of trying to control things we couldn’t
• The moment we realized that letting go wasn’t giving up — it was freedom
This one isn’t just for people in recovery. It’s for anyone who’s exhausted from pretending they’re fine.
