Intention vs control

from Functional Spirituality · host Ava Irani

What’s the real difference between moving through life with intention… and gripping on with control? In this episode, we explore how intention keeps us aligned and connected to our heart, while control often comes from unconscious pressure and fixation. When we’re out of touch with our true intention, motivation naturally fades — but when we’re in alignment, motivation flows effortlessly. Tune in to discover how to recognise the energy of control vs. intention, reconnect with your heart, and move forward with more ease and clarity.
