How To Let Go Of Control & Have More Peace In Your Life

If you’ve ever felt yourself clenching your way through life - micromanaging every detail, obsessing over getting it “right,” trying to predict every possible outcome so nothing feels scary or uncertain - you already know how exhausting the grip of control can be.

It feels like you’re holding everything together… while quietly falling apart inside. You don't trust yourself, others or the world around you. 

And yet, letting go?

That somehow feels even scarier.

In this episode, we’re unpacking that push-pull dynamic - the part of you that wants more peace and freedom, and the part of you that’s terrified to release the reins.

You’ll hear the real story of a moment that shoved me right into the heart of my own control patterns, and the unexpected experience that finally helped me soften, surrender, and trust myself in a deeper way.

Together, we'll dive into it:

• The hidden link between perfectionism, anxiety, food obsession, and the need to control
• How your nervous system decides what feels “safe” and why it resists change
• Why you default to micromanaging food, your body, or your routine
• The breathwork moment that cracked something open for me
• Small, low-stakes ways to practice letting go in everyday life

Letting go isn’t one dramatic leap.

It’s a series of tiny releases.

And those small shifts slowly rewrite everything.

I hope this episode brings you the permission, compassion, and practical tools you’ve been needing.

If it resonates, send it to someone who also lives in “hyper-vigilant, must-hold-it-all-together” mode. They’ll feel so seen.
