I didn't realize how much life could change just by learning to be open. In this episode of Happy Life Agenda, I share the messy and honest parts of that process, how letting go of control, listening instead of defending myself, and spending time in stillness shifted my relationships and my peace of mind. We talk about what it really means to be open. Not just to new ideas and feedback but to letting people live their own lives without me trying to fix or shape them. It hasn't been easy. It's one of the hardest skills I've ever had to learn but it's also been the most freeing. If you've been feeling tense, heavy or stuck, I hope this conversation gives you space to slow down and see another way forward. Watch this episode of The Happy Life Agenda.   Enjoy the podcast?
