In episode, I dive into a conversation that every woman can relate to. The illusion of control. For years I believed that control was confidence. That if I held everything together perfectly, I’d finally feel safe. But what I discovered is that control is just fear in disguise. It’s a trauma response that keeps us hustling, striving, and disconnecting from our truth.
I share my personal story of how my addiction to multitasking and overachievement became my coping mechanism, and how it eventually led to burnout, back pain, and emotional exhaustion. Through healing and self reflection, I learned that real power isn’t about control, it’s about trust.
In this episode, I’ll guide you through what it means to move from self control to self trust, to regulate your nervous system, to feel safe in your body, and to live turned on — fully aligned with your intuition, your desires, and your energy.
If you’ve been gripping tightly to keep it all together, this episode will help you loosen your hold, reconnect with your inner compass, and remember that the most magnetic version of you is the one who trusts herself completely.
