If you're listening to this during the Christmas holiday week and feeling a little on edge, this episode is for you! In today's episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing a real coaching call conversation about control - the sneaky kind that looks like being responsible on the outside but feels like anxiety on the inside. Yep, that kind.

We talk about why so many women struggle to let go, how trying to control people and situations steals our peace, damages relationships, and keeps us from being present in our own lives. I share personal stories (including my days as a reformed control freak), signs you might be holding onto control without realizing it, and simple mindset shifts to help you release what's not yours to carry!

This is a gentle reminder that you don't have to manage everything, fix everyone, or hold it all together to be worthy or safe.
