How to Reclaim Your Power Without Controlling Anyone In this episode, I break down the psychology behind control. Why we try to manage other people’s behaviour, emotions, and choices, and how that quietly drains our power, peace, and sense of self. We talk about: Why trying to control others makes you feel more powerless, not less How victim mentality keeps you dependent on other people’s energy and validation The ways control shows up as guilt, emotional pressure, or “needs” Why boundaries are about your behaviour and not changing someone else’s How letting go of control reduces anxiety and emotional exhaustion Why focusing only on yourself feels uncomfortable but creates real change How to stop feeling guilty, indebted, or responsible for other people’s emotions The mindset shift that helps you reclaim your power without force, manipulation, or emotional labour This episode is for anyone who feels drained by relationships, stuck in cycles of guilt or resentment, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. You don’t need more control. You need your power back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
