Unplanned Serendipity: Let Go of Control and Watch Life Get Magical | Penny Finnie

Most of us spend our lives trying to keep things together. We plan, we push, we grip tightly to the idea that if we can just control enough of life, things will turn out the way we want. But the truth is the opposite. The more we try to control, the more resistance we create. The moment we let go is the moment life starts to move.

In this conversation, Penny Finnie returns to share how releasing control has opened doors in her life that she could never have planned. From unexpected meetings to perfectly timed encounters and the quiet winks that show up when you are willing to trust the unfolding, Penny brings a rare blend of insight, warmth and lived experience.

This episode is a reminder that letting go is not passive. It is choosing to stop wrestling with life and allowing something deeper, wiser and far more beautiful to lead.
