The Power of Surrender

The Power of Surrender

What if trying harder isn’t the solution?

For a long time, I thought that if I just did more—learned more, tried more therapies, did each thing better, lived cleaner, worked harder—I could fix all my problems and prevent future ones.

But what if the real shift doesn’t come from doing more...but from letting go?

In this episode, I share what surrender has looked like in my life—parenting my PDA autistic kids, navigating chronic illness and pain, and just trying to make it through the workday.
