You’ve been telling yourself, “I just need to let go. I need to stop holding it all.” But every time you even think about letting go? Full-body panic. Your brain spirals. Your chest tightens. You convince yourself that if you loosen your grip for one second, it’ll all come crashing down.
But what if letting go isn’t dangerous? What if it’s actually your path home—not to chaos, but to freedom?
Inside this episode, we’re breaking down:
-
Why letting go feels absolutely terrifying (it’s not because you’re dramatic)
-
Why you’ve tied your worth to control—and how it’s wrecking your nervous system
-
The real reason you fear losing more than just your to-do list—you fear losing yourself
-
How to pause the panic without burning your whole life down
Plus—I’m sharing one of my favorite metaphors about the “House of Cards” you’ve been living in… it’s gonna hit deep.
And because I know you’ve been craving it, I’m also telling you about my February retreat and why it was built for exactly this moment. (And yes, you can still join the VIP interest list!)
Oh, and quick heads up—I’ve got a tiny but mighty All In Challenge for you in this episode, too. It’s simple. No fixing. Just noticing. But it’s the kind of question that changes everything.
