In this minisode, Colleen distills emotional sobriety into its simplest form: learning to recognize when you're operating from your primal state versus your power state. Most of us spend our lives reacting to the world from old programming—patterns shaped by fear, pain, or the need for control—without realizing that we can pause, interrupt, and return to presence.

She explains how to move from being controlled by your mind to consciously using it as a tool, how emotional energy drives every "problem," and how the act of letting go—physically and mentally—is the real path to peace. This is more than nervous system regulation; it's a full reclamation of agency over your inner world.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• You live in one of two states: primal (reactive) or power (conscious).
  
  

• Every problem is emotional—it begins with the meaning your mind assigns.
  
  

• Letting go is a physical skill that quiets the mind by releasing tension in the body.
  
  

• You can't think your way out of stress; you have to feel your way back to calm.
  
  

• Power isn't something you find—it's the moment you remember you already have it.
