239. The Myth of Control: Why Focusing on Yourself First Creates Change

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you try to manage your child’s behavior, your partner’s reactions, or the chaos of daily life… nothing really changes?

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest myths in parenting and relationships: the idea that controlling everything around us will finally bring peace.

Here’s the truth: real change doesn’t happen when you fix them—it begins when you come home to yourself.

Join me as I share:

*Why trying to control others is actually a stress response (not a flaw)

*My personal turning point from burnout to breakthrough

*What gets in the way of doing this work—and how to gently move through it

*How focusing inward creates outward transformation in your relationships

Whether you’re navigating tantrums, teen attitudes, or just trying to stay calm when life feels loud—this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected to your own truth.
