How to Stop Being a Controlling Woman

I know all about battling control and so does today's guest, Shannon Popkin, author of the book, "Control Girl." Today, Shannon and I talk about all things related to how to stop being a controlling woman. We talk about: why women control, how we control, and what some of the antidotes are for control. If you're looking for help on how to stop being this kind of controlling woman, I hope you'll tune in to this delightful and informative conversation. Here are some of the highlights from How to Stop Being a Controlling Woman: Shannon and I share our stories of trying to control our husband's clothing choices (and not in a helpful way!). We talk about where this whole struggle with control began, biblically, and how women have been wrestling control since the days of Eve. We talk about becoming aware of the things we are trying to control and then becoming realistic about what is within our control and what is outside of our control. Controlling our bodies, our food, our families, and other things can have a real (and damaging) impact on our lives. We discuss some of the effect of control. We end with some encouragement for moms who have a prodigal child, are trying to raise "healthy" daughters, and more.
