The One Belief We Outgrew: Letting Go of Certainty, Control & Doing It All Alone - August BTS

Send us Fan MailWhat's one belief you had early on that you no longer believe?This month, Christina and K. Margaret are doing things differently — instead of their usual conversation, they each sat down alone with that single question and stitched their answers into one episode.Christina traces her shift from certainty to curiosity: how being the "quintessential know-it-all" gave way to holding space for nuance, and how letting go of the need to be right made her more compassionate, more confident, and a better coach. K. Margaret brings three reorientations — from life happens to me to life happens for me, from alignment through control to presence and allowing, and from I'm always alone to I'm never alone.The through-line: growth didn't come from gripping harder. It came from loosening — into curiosity, presence, and trust.
