Do you ever feel like life would finally calm down if you could just keep everything under control? In this episode, we dive deep into our human drive for control—why we crave it, what happens when we can’t have it, and how it often leaves us feeling stressed, drained, and stuck. We’ll explore the difference between what’s truly within our power and what isn’t, and why learning to let go is one of the most freeing skills you can practice.
You’ll hear metaphors and a relatable client vignette, discover strategies to stop overthinking, and reflect on how to redirect your energy toward what actually matters. This episode is part education, part reflection, and part gentle challenge to loosen your grip on what you were never meant to carry.
If you’ve been feeling weighed down by the need to control everything, this episode will help you breathe a little deeper, reclaim your energy, and focus on what’s really in your hands.
