If you often catch yourself thinking, It’s just easier if I do it myself, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the truth behind why so many women try to do it all and how it’s holding us back from freedom and lasting happiness.

I’ll share some of my own stories of control and explain how the drive to control often creates burnout and strained relationships….but guess what!  We don’t have to stay stuck in that exhausting cycle. I’ll share the eye-opening concept of “locus of control” and what happens when our healthy sense of agency becomes overdeveloped and turns into hyper-control.

I’m also giving you three practical steps you can start using today to relinquish some of that control and let trust and connection flourish in your life as it returns to balance. So, tune in and discover how redefining responsibility can create space for more brilliance and balance in your next chapter.
