Podcaster, author, wife and mom, Tara Sun joins us this week on the podcast. She is sharing more on her latest book release all about surrendering your story and more on her journey towards freedom from control.  In this conversation, Tara talks about trading control for greater peace and joy, reminds us of what there is to gain in the “waiting” and how your story is still being written even in those seemingly quiet seasons. If you find yourself anxious and gripping control often, worried that you don’t have a five year plan mapped out, or feel like you’ve run yourself ragged in trying to figure it all out, you’ll be encouraged by this episode.
