What if the thing that’s actually keeping you stuck… is trying to hold everything together?

In this episode, we talk about powerlessness — not as weakness, but as the beginning of real peace. Because whether it’s addiction, anxiety, control, or just trying to keep everyone else happy… eventually we all hit a point where white-knuckling life doesn’t work anymore.

We get real about:

• • What powerlessness actually looks like (and what it doesn’t)
  • Our own stories of trying to control things we couldn’t
  • The moment we realized that letting go wasn’t giving up — it was freedom

• This one isn’t just for people in recovery. It’s for anyone who’s exhausted from pretending they’re fine.
