Description

I recorded this one sitting in my kitchen, still practically crying, still processing—in real time.

Because when the thing you’ve been planning for 18 months looks like it’s about to get rained out, being told “you can’t control the weather” feels more like a gut punch than helpful advice.

This episode isn’t really about Ben’s Bar Mitzvahthough (ok, it’s a little about the Bar Mitzvah). It’s about what happens when we logically know we can’t control something—our weight, a craving, a body change in perimenopause—but that knowing does nothing to actually make us feel better.

So what do you do when you feel totally powerless?

That’s what this episode is about.

✏️ The list I wrote

💥 What to do with the griefof not having control

✅ And the unexpected outcome of writing down exactly what you can control—even when it changes absolutely nothing

I love this episode and hope it connects with you!
