Are you unknowingly letting others control you?
As a (recovering) control freak, this episode hits close to home for me. Regarding what you can and cannot control, today I’m diving into why you might be giving away power over what you actually can control to others. If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated by other people’s opinions, actions, or words, this episode is for you.
You know you can’t control others. No matter how carefully you choose our words or how much effort you put into making someone happy, their reactions are out of your hands. But what about the reverse? What about control over yourself you willingly give up—when you let someone else’s actions dictate your emotions, your choices, and even your self-worth?
I like to think of it as handing over your leash. When you’re walking your dog (or cat, or rabbit—yes, I’ve seen it!), you guide them, keep them safe, and help them navigate the world. But what happens when you give your leash to someone else? Suddenly, you’re the one being pulled in directions you never intended, reacting instead of leading.
In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience that changed the way I see control—one that took me from burnout and frustration to reclaiming my choices, my emotions, and ultimately, my happiness. I’ll also talk about a powerful mindset shift that can help you stop dwelling on ‘what ifs’ and start focusing on what you can control.
So, get ready to take back your leash. Let’s get started!
