Do you ever catch yourself needing everything just so — planning every detail, fixing everyone’s mistakes, and believing if you don’t handle it, everything will fall apart? You’re not alone. In this episode of Ope, Your Human is Showing, we’re diving deep into the human need for control: where it comes from, how it shows up at work, at home, and in your relationships — and how trying to manage everything can backfire and drain your energy.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why our brains crave control and predictability (hello, stress hormones)

✅ The difference between healthy autonomy and rigid control

✅ A simple Sphere of Control exercise you can use today to protect your energy

✅ How to find balance between responsibility and letting go

✅ Three practical steps to loosen your grip and trust yourself (and others) more

If you’re ready to trade exhaustion and micromanaging for freedom and trust, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Control is human: We crave it for safety and certainty — but too much creates tension and burnout.

• Autonomy is the goal: True freedom is staying rooted in what you can steer, and trusting others with the rest.

• • Sphere of Control: Focus your energy on what you control, notice what you can influence, and release what’s truly out of your hands.
  • Balance is power: Loosening the grip helps your mind, body, and relationships breathe.
