The Illusion of Control

In this episode, we’re unpacking The Illusion of Control—why we chase it, how it sneaks into our everyday lives, and whether it’s actually helping (spoiler: usually not how we think it is). From the subtle ways we step outside of our values just to feel "in charge," to where it shows up in parenting, work, marriage, and friendships—we’re talking real life, real moments, and the messy truth of trying to control what often can’t be controlled.

We share personal stories and honest reflections about what it means to let go, reframe our thinking, and find a new kind of steadiness that isn’t rooted in control, but in trust, flexibility, flow, and self-awareness.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re white-knuckling your way through life—or just wondering how to loosen your grip—this one's for you.
