How We Trade Trust for Control — and How to Take It Back

Control is a contradiction of the soul, the very mechanism that guards the doorway to your freedom.

In this episode, we explore how control shows up, not just in the obvious ways like over-planning or perfectionism, but in the subtle internal contractions: overthinking, hesitation, self-censorship, and the inability to rest in the unknown.

Control is often our nervous system’s survival strategy.
It gives the illusion of safety, but costs us presence, joy, clarity, and connection.
It becomes the labyrinth we build around our truth.

This week’s episode will guide you through:

• How control takes root in the unconscious as a response to fear, instability, and perfectionism

• The ways control manifests both externally and internally, from rigidity and resentment to anxiety and withdrawal

• A mythological story of King Minos and the Labyrinth and how we all build structures to avoid the monster we’ve hidden within

• Why surrender is not weakness, but the opening to flow, insight, and alignment

• How letting go of control is essential to creating the spaciousness required for Overflow

This is the work, not just understanding why we grip, but gently loosening the hold so that life can finally move through.
