In this episode we talk about how Letting go of control, comfort, and old coping patterns isn’t easy. Change asks us to allow, to trust, and to let in — all things that can feel terrifying if we’ve spent years surviving by keeping walls up.
In this episode, we talk about how to know when it’s time to loosen control, why “fine” isn’t the same as fulfilled, and what helps us feel safe enough to soften. Because true courage isn’t about forcing change — it’s about allowing growth to happen where safety and honesty meet.
THREE TAKEAWAYS
1. Letting go isn’t giving up — it’s trusting yourself enough to stop forcing outcomes.
2. Safety comes from consistency, empathy, and ownership — not control.
3. Real courage begins when we allow vulnerability to meet safety.
The courage to stop
managing everything
begins with one brave thought:
maybe I’m safe enough
now to let go.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
