S1 EP12: Stop Controlling Everything
Finding Peace When Life Feels Out of Control
This episode was inspired by a week of white-knuckling life, mentally, emotionally, and yes, metaphorically scream-singing Life is a Highway while trying to hold it all together.
If you’ve been trying to manage every detail, predict every outcome, and force your future into submission, this one’s for you.
I talk about what it really feels like to spiral into control mode, whether it's big things like job uncertainty and heartbreak or smaller things like calorie counting, step tracking, and perfectly timed morning routines.
More importantly, I walk you through how to interrupt those patterns before they steal your joy, your peace, and your progress. Because control doesn’t protect you the way you think it does. Sometimes, letting go is the most powerful thing you can do.
Key Takeaways:
✨ How to identify and track your control triggers
✨ What a “Let Go List” is and how to start one tonight
✨ Why patience isn’t passive (and 3 steps to build it)
✨ Rewrite. Reclaim. Reinvent. ✨Because the future isn’t something you control, it’s something you grow into.
