Have a question or topic you'd like discussed? Click here to send a text or leave a voice memo! What if the control you’ve been clinging to… was never real safety at all?In this deeply personal episode of the Deep Trust mini-series, we explore the illusion of control - why we grip so tightly, how it shows up as perfectionism, overthinking, or people-pleasing, and what it really means to surrender.Through my own story of leaving my job and stepping into the unknown, I  share what it looks like to trust your path even when it doesn’t unfold the way you expected. Because control is fear pretending to protect us - but trust, that’s where freedom and creation live.You’ll be invited to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your own body’s wisdom as you release the need to know how and learn to trust that you’re already being guided.🎧 Tune in for gentle guidance, reflection questions, and a “Magic of What If” card pull to help you soften your grip, align your energy, and surrender into your next level of growth.💜 “Control will keep you small. Trust will set you free.”Take a deep breath, and after each question, let your body - not your mind -respond.Where in my life am I trying to control the outcome?What am I afraid might happen if I let go?What part of me believes I need to hold it all together to feel safe?How am I abandoning myself in the process?What might happen if I trusted that I’m already being guided - that everything unfolding right now is part of something bigger?Support the show💌 Want more Pure Possibilities in your week?
