EP 022: Letting Go of Control When the World Feels Unstable

from BIG GIRL PANTIES & Other Business Essentials · host Amy Howard

In today’s episode, Amy shares a deeply personal conversation about something many of us are feeling right now—uneasiness about the future. The headlines are loud. The noise is constant. And for women leading families, businesses, and teams, the instinct to control every outcome can feel overwhelming. But what if the peace we’re searching for doesn’t come from tighter control… but from loosening our grip and trusting God instead? After more than 35 years in business, Amy reflects on the moments where she tried to engineer every outcome—and the moments where she simply followed a quiet nudge from God. Surprisingly, the greatest breakthroughs in her life and business were not the ones she controlled. They were the ones where she stepped forward in faith. And as Amy recently began studying the Book of Revelation, one truth became clear: God is not surprised by the world we’re living in right now. He isn’t scrambling. He isn’t reacting. He is sovereign. So what does it look like to lead a business, a family, and a life of purpose when the world feels unstable? The answer might surprise you. Key Takeaways 1. Worry Is Not a Strategy Anxiety drains our energy but never produces clarity. Faith-led leaders prepare wisely—but refuse to live in fear. 2. Release Control Daily Peace comes when we stop gripping outcomes and begin casting our worries onto God. 3. Your Calling Has Not Changed Even when the world feels uncertain, your purpose remains steady. The mission God placed on your life does not change because the world feels unstable.
