In today’s episode of Decide to Heal, I’m diving deep into a topic that’s been stirring my heart lately: control. Inspired by a recent reel from Mel Robbins and my own personal experiences, I share why so much of what we call "control" can actually keep us stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from God’s power. I get real about my own struggles with needing to control everything, my thoughts, feelings, outcomes, and how it led me to burnout and heartbreak. But there’s a better way. A freer, more life-giving way rooted not in control, but in trust, self-control, and choice. This conversation is raw, honest, and I believe it will meet you exactly where you are today. If you're tired of just "dealing" and you're ready to step into true healing, this episode was made for you. Let’s walk through it together.
