In this episode ofInside The Mind, Jen and Allie dive into the trap of “choking the flow”— that self-sabotaging habit of clinging too tightly to rigid expectations, micromanaging every detail, and stifling the very magic you’re wanting to create.
Through personal stories and insights, they explore how over-control and overachieving tendencies block the natural flow of creativity, abundance, and energy.
From dealing with unexpected interruptions to confronting the fear of imperfection, Jen and Allie offer practical tools to help you release the grip, trust the process and create space for more fun and flow.
