How to Let Go of What You Can’t Control

Let us know what you enjoy about the show! As the year winds down, many of us find ourselves feeling heavier—not physically, but energetically. In this episode, I explore the idea of psychological baggage : the unprocessed memories, regrets, worries, hopes, and fears we’ve grown used to carrying as if they’re part of who we are. Drawing from Chapter 24 of my book, The Places Where There Are Spaces , I share an excerpt that invites us to consider a lighter way of traveling through life—one where no extra baggage is required, and where curiosity replaces judgment. I close the episode with a simple, powerful exercise to help you distinguish between what you can control and what you can’t, and to consciously put down what was never yours to hold in the first place. Because when we release responsibility for what’s beyond our control, we reclaim energy for what truly matters. If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!
