Why Trying To Control Everything is Keeping You Stuck—And What to Do Instead


Listen Later

If you're the one who shifts the energy in a room, who anticipates what people need before they even realize it, who prides yourself on preventing problems before they happen—this episode is for you.

You believe you're controlling things because you have proof—meetings where you turned a "no" into a "yes," situations you steered to avoid disaster, people you influenced into changing their minds.

But here's the truth: Control was never actually yours.

In this episode, we break down:

  • How gripping tighter actually makes things worse
  • Why you're exhausting yourself for an illusion
  • Why you believe you control the world, but not your own thoughts
  • What surrender really means—and why it's not "giving up," it's actually the path to true power

Resources:

The Love Letter Subscription: Start your day with a powerful, perspective-shifting message—before the world pulls you back into the grind.
