Dr. Laura Le returns to name the real cost of control — and what it takes for a mom to open her hands and finally find peace.

Most of us don't call it control.

💥 We call it being responsible.

💥 Being prepared.

💥 Being a good mom.

But underneath all that gripping is a kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on a to-do list — the tiring, invisible work of trying to hold outcomes that were never ours to hold.

In this conversation, Dr. Laura Le joins me again — this time with a different lens on a topic we've touched on before.

Dr. Laura is a chiropractor with over twenty-three years of experience in prenatal and pediatric care, the author of Postpartum Reimagined, and the host of her own podcast, You Are the Mom. She recently walked her own daughter through the college send-off, which became the seed for her book Words From Home for the College Bound Teen — and it's exactly the kind of letting-go season we dig into here.

We talk about 📌 what control actually costs a mom physically and spiritually, 📌 why surrender isn't the same thing as giving up, and 📌 what it looks like to open your hands toward the God who was never asking you to carry this alone.

If you've ever wrestled with mom guilt over not doing enough, you'll recognize its quieter cousin here — the anxious grip of trying to control everything so nothing goes wrong. This is a tender, healing conversation for any Christian mom who became tired of white-knuckling her way through motherhood and ready for real, sustainable peace.
