If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through life - trying to think your way out of anxiety, plan your way into peace, or control every detail so you finally feel safe - this episode is for you.


Because here’s the truth: Control doesn’t heal you. It traps you.


In this episode, I share a raw experience from a somatic yoga class where surrender cracked me open in a way control never could. I’ll walk you through:

  • Why your nervous system holds onto old stories and trauma - even from before you were born
  • What happens in your body when you finally stop gripping and start softening
  • How somatic work (breath, movement, EFT, nervous system tools) creates the safety your mind can’t
  • Why healing isn’t your fault, but it is your responsibility
  • How to begin practicing surrender in your own life today


This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real transformation - the kind that starts in your body, not your head.

So if you’re tired of overthinking, forcing, or waiting to finally feel “ready”, press play.

Your body already knows the way.
