Episode 18 -Agency & Not Controlling What is Happening.

from Real Positive Change: Creative Renewal for Women · host Cathy Freeman

Today I want to talk about something that sounds simple…
but is actually very tender and very human. Agency. We hear that word and often think it means control.
Having answers.
Having certainty.
Having things work out. But the older I get, and the more I sit with women who are tired, faithful, creative, and trying their best…
the more I realize that agency isn’t about controlling your life at all. It’s about trusting yourself inside it. And that distinction matters—especially when life feels unpredictable, overwhelming, or unfair. So if you’re listening today and things feel uncertain…
If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel anxious or unsettled…
If you’ve ever wondered, Why does letting go feels so scary?
