Control - Lunch Time with Demons

Season one (Ep16) We discuss control, prompted by Abella's personal experience recovering from surgery and feeling physically limited. We reflect on how control or the lack thereof affects not only external circumstances but also emotional regulation, accountability, and the ability to adapt when life shifts unexpectedly. The discussion reveals how easily control can dominate one's mindset, shaping reactions and perceptions, often rooted in the desire for safety and stability. As the conversation unfolds, they connect this theme to daily life, spiritual work, and the ongoing process of self-evolution. Through anecdotes, including a humorous story about a misplaced trash can, they illustrate how minor disruptions challenge habitual patterns and provide opportunities for growth. The hosts ultimately frame control as both a necessary grounding force and a potential obstacle to transformation, encouraging listeners to examine their relationship with it as part of their spiritual and psychological healing journey.   Opia - the striking intensity of direct eye contact, which feels both intimate and unsettling Abella's Link Tree Ryan's Link Tree
