Loosen Your Grip! Finding Peace by Releasing Control

from Life Beyond the Ladder · host Dalisia Coppersmith

What looks like strength in midlife is often the very thing that is wearing you out. If you’re constantly managing outcomes, people, and every possible problem before it happens, this episode shows why that death grip on control is costing you more than you think - and how to start loosening it without becoming passive.Midlife reinvention guide, Dalisia Coppersmith takes on the sneaky way control disguises itself as competence, responsibility, and being the one who holds it all together. She breaks down why so many accomplished Gen Xers and “senior millennials” were rewarded for anticipating everything, fixing everything, and never letting the ball drop. But that same habit starts draining your energy, killing your joy, and quietly straining relationships.You’ll discover why letting go is not the same as giving up. Instead of walking away from what matters, she offers a practical way to notice when you’re stepping into someone else’s job, pause long enough to ask what you’re afraid will happen, and use that answer as a path back to trust.If you’ve been holding on so tightly that it’s starting to cost you peace, connection, or presence, this episode is your invitation to open your hand. Perfect for anyone who’s tired of carrying what was never theirs to control, and ready to discover what opens up on the other side.Reach out to Dalisia to learn about the Vine & Vision Retreat this fall and her upcoming mentoring program for midlife women. ResourcesFall Retreat for Midlife Women: ⁠https://dalisiacoppersmith.com/vine-vision-retreat⁠ Visit Dalisia online: https://dalisiacoppersmith.com Follow on social: YT: ⁠  / @dalisiacoppersmith  LI: ⁠  /dalisiacoppersmith⁠  IG: ⁠  /dalisia.coppersmith⁠  FB: ⁠  /the-second-act-architect⁠
