If everything in your life feels urgent and high-stakes, this episode is your reminder: it’s not. You don’t have to micromanage every little thing for life to work out. In fact, gripping so tightly often leaves you more stressed and less present.

We’ll explore why we develop this “death grip” on life, how it drains our energy, and what it looks like to care deeply without clinging tightly. I’ll share a personal story about when I had to let go, plus practical steps for easing your hold without letting everything fall apart.

We’ll talk about:

* The cultural and personal roots of over-controlling

* How gripping harder leads to more anxiety, not more success

* Simple mindset shifts to replace force with trust

* What “softer structure” looks like in real life
