In this episode, Monica breaks down why control has been your biggest asset AND your biggest block, what it’s actually costing you, and how to start releasing it without feeling like your whole life is going to fall apart.

She talks about:

🪞 How control is a trauma response, and how it’s holding you back

🪞 Why your 34-step morning routine is setting you up for massive failure

🪞 The difference between conscious control and control as a trauma response

🪞 Why discipline and structure are good—until they turn you into a control freak

🪞 How your hyper-independence is blocking you from feeling how good your life already is

🪞 The impossibility of being in a flow state and in control at the same time

🪞 Why control freaks get addicted to stress and create drama when life is calm
