We talked about control, responsibility, and the unspoken expectation to always have it together—at work, in relationships, and in life. This episode explores how those patterns form and what shifts when you start questioning whether carrying everything alone is actually helping. Ladies -- you are going to want to send this episode to any important man in your life!We also talk about vulnerability in a practical, grounded way. Not as an emotional performance, but as honesty, self-awareness, and the willingness to pause instead of pushing. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in “doing” mode, wants more clarity, and is ready to approach growth with less pressure and more intention.Connect with Meg:Free 7-day trial to unlimited coaching tools!Follow Meg on InstagramFollow The Create Your Fate Podcast on InstagramTake your FREE Enneagram TestSubscribe to Meg's newsletterDisclaimerConnect with Jace:Follow Jace on InstagramLearn more about coaching with Jace
