Ever tried to control every little thing during a crisis, only to end up even more stressed?

When we feel overwhelmed, it’s common to try to force a solution - only to end up feeling MORE overwhelmed. What if the best approach isn't controlling the situation, but actually doing nothing at all?

In this episode, we dive into how our natural instinct to take control in stressful situations can backfire and actually increase our overwhelm. This episode presents a fresh perspective on solving problems by letting go instead of forcing.

When you listen, you’ll learn:

1. Why women often default to control in times of stress and how this can sabotage our efforts to find peace.
2. Why forcing a solution can make you feel worse, and what to do instead.
3. Practical tips on how to embrace acceptance, let go of control, and find unexpected benefits in doing less.

Hit play now to uncover a new way to handle stress that could save you time, energy, and give you more peace of mind!
