What do you do when life feels out of control? In this episode, we unpack the panic, frustration, and urgency that hit when things don’t go the way we planned. Why do we grip tighter? Why does control feel so necessary? We break down the difference between responsibility and control, share a simple two-column method to separate what’s yours from what isn’t, and give you a practical reset you can use immediately. You can’t control everything. But you can control you.

This week on The Sunday Self, we’re talking about reinvention, personal growth, and the messy middle of change. Not just the big life milestones but the quiet decisions we make to evolve.From quitting habits that no longer serve us, to trying new classes, to managing anger as a “private project,” we explore what it really means to grow. Why do people sometimes resist our changes? Why is “same” so comfortable? And is it better to share your goals or protect them?

This week on The Sunday Self, we’re talking about introverts, extroverts, and why we don’t have to be defined by either label. What happens when you recharge differently than the people you love? And what if where you fall shifts depending on the day?We share some real-life role reversals — Katie’s attempt at taking herself out to dinner alone that turned into a total fail, and Marie walking into a party full of strangers feeling panicked… only to end up thriving. Plus, we play a rapid-fire round of “Scary or Exciting?” that might have you questioning your own social battery.Our takeaway? Most of us live somewhere in the middle — and it’s okay to honor where your energy is today. You’re allowed to shift. You’re allowed to change.We’re also officially on social media!
