In this episode I share insights into one of the toughest challenges for high achievers: letting go of control.
Many of us feel the need to control every outcome, situation, and person in our lives, which leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout.
Join me as I share how letting go of control can bring peace and allow space for creativity and growth.
Learn simple, actionable tips to help you trust the process, relax your nervous system, and focus on what you can control: yourself.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why high achievers struggle with control and how it impacts mental health
- How to shift from a need for control to a mindset of trust and acceptance
- Practical steps for letting go of control without feeling unsafe
- Why focusing on what you can control—yourself—leads to better outcomes
- How releasing control reduces stress, anxiety, and burnout
Key Takeaways:
- Control may feel like it’s helping, but it often leads to anxiety, stress, and burnout.
- Letting go of control allows more peace, creativity, and trust to flow into your life.
- Focus on controlling your effort and personal growth, not the outcomes.
- Start small—delegate tasks and let go of micromanaging to build trust in the process.
Quotes:
- “There is peace in letting go of trying to control all the outcomes and focusing on what you can control—your effort.”
- “Control is about safety, but real peace comes when we trust the process instead of trying to manipulate every detail.”
