Today's episode is a topic that I think every one of us has struggled with at one time or another - The Illusion of Control. While we may like our life to be in some order, control is another level of that. It is often based in fear and lack of psychological safety.

When we make big life changes, our minds tend to focus on everything we're leaving behind instead of what we're stepping into.

In this episode, we're diving into why we do this, what it costs us, and...
