201. How to Stop Trying to Control Everything

Do you bristle when things do not go according to plan? In this episode, we explore how the habit of trying to control everything becomes one of the biggest time wasters and energy drains in your life. When you pour effort into things that are not fully under your control, you lose time, and you exhaust your mental, emotional, and physical resources.

Many of us do this without realizing it. Trying to manage other people's feelings, reactions, or interpretations drains our energy and leaves us feeling ineffective. I explore why the urge to overcontrol develops and what changes when you shift your attention to the small category of what is genuinely yours to manage, rather than the much larger category that is not.

200. Feelings Are Not a Sign of Failure: Rethinking Emotional Capacity

What if being undone, feeling big emotions, or even feeling overwhelmed is actually what healing looks like? Most of us have been taught that doing well means feeling calm, composed, and in control, but I want to make the case that falling apart might be a sign of your greatest emotional strength and a marker that you're at a meaningful growth edge.

In this episode, I explore why emotional capacity, strength, resilience, and progress sometimes look messy. You'll discover why feeling big feelings isn't failure; it's often a sign of recovery. You'll learn how a regulated nervous system isn't defined by calm, but by responsiveness. And you'll understand why emotional intensity may mean your system is no longer in survival mode, but is expanding its capacity to hold more of your lived experience.

199. Reframe Your Narrative: Change What You Make Things Mean

Do you ever find yourself reading too much into a situation and suddenly thinking everyone around you dislikes you? In this episode, I explore how the meanings we assign to everyday moments can shape our experience of life. These interpretations can either lift us up or weigh us down, often without us even realizing it.

You'll discover how to identify your default meaning-making patterns and learn how to choose interpretations that work for you, not against you. I'll share specific prompts to help you reframe moments of struggle with compassion and curiosity, without falling into the trap of toxic positivity. By the end, you'll have tools to catch yourself in unhelpful narratives and experiment with meanings that support your growth.

198. The Top Mistakes of Habit Change and 4 Keys for Real Progress

Have you ever mapped out a perfect plan for change only to watch it fall apart within days? That cycle is not a discipline problem. It is a sign that the foundation beneath your habit change is missing the elements that make new patterns truly sustainable. Most people focus on the plan itself, not the internal and practical skills that allow a plan to hold up in real life.

In this episode, I break down the most common mistakes I see when people try to change their habits and why those approaches backfire. You will also learn the four keys that create real progress. When you focus on these foundations, you build habits that work in the midst of unpredictability rather than collapsing under it.

197. The Habit of Minimizing: Stop Downplaying Hard Things

Have you ever noticed how quickly you brush off something that was actually really hard? This instinct to minimize difficulty might seem harmless, but it shapes how connected you feel to yourself and how honestly you experience your life.

In this episode, I explore the habit of minimizing difficulties: why we dismiss or dilute how challenging something was after it's over and how this pattern disconnects us from ourselves. Whether it's downplaying a tough day or pretending a painful experience was "fine," this habit can quietly erode self-trust and emotional awareness. You'll learn how to recognize when you're glossing over your real experience and what changes when you start telling the truth about what was hard.
