In this episode, I share what it’s been like to be in a season where I feel this strong need to be in control—but honestly don’t know how to be. When every decision feels so important, it’s easy to put pressure on yourself to make all the “right” choices and feel like everything depends on you. I talk about the fear of going down the wrong path, the pressure of not wanting to repeat past mistakes, and the constant push to keep moving forward—even when life feels heavy. That anxiety can make you feel stuck, like if you don’t figure it out now, you’re falling behind.
But the more I sit in these feelings, the more I realize they’re all pointing to the same thing: I was never meant to carry this much control on my own.
In this episode, I also read a chapter from a book I’m currently going through that’s been helping me shift my perspective. It’s been reminding me to let go, to stop gripping so tightly to every outcome, and to trust that God is working in my life—even when I can’t see it yet. This conversation is about surrender. About releasing the need to have everything mapped out and choosing to trust God with the unknown. Because faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about believing you’re being guided, even in the uncertainty. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious about your future, or scared of making the wrong choice, this episode is here to remind you: you don’t have to control everything to be exactly where you’re meant to be.
