At some point, many of us started living like passengers.

Letting the schedule, the job, the expectations, the noise—all of it—dictate our days.But friend, here’s the thing: you’re the one holding the keys.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to step into the driver’s seat of your own life—especially if you’ve been coasting, detouring, or letting someone else call the shots.

We’ll explore:

* The sneaky ways we give up control without realizing it

* How self-sabotage, fear, and people-pleasing keep us in the back seat

* What it looks like to take the wheel again (without flooring it into burnout)

This isn’t about having it all figured out.

It’s about being honest about where you’re going—and brave enough to drive there on your terms.

Journal Prompts:
