In this episode, Jessica unpacks the real roots of control — not perfectionism, but protection. Through stories from her childhood, military life, and the daily chaos of parenting, she explores why so many parents cling to structure, how control quietly costs us connection, and what it looks like to shift from “control freak” to “chaos curator.” With practical tools, gentle reframes, and a weeklong Let‑It‑Go Challenge, this episode helps you trade rigidity for presence, trust your preparation, and move through chaos without losing yourself.
