Join Jordan’s spiral as she explores her relationship with control, her compulsory need to provide (unwanted) help and (unsolicited) advice. The impulse to control seems rooted in Jordan’s self-proclaimed codependent tendencies, providing her with an illusion of safety and complicating the way she shows love. In a casual chat gone critical self-reflection mission, Jordan and J.T. discuss:

- The increased desire for control in times of uncertainty, control as a coping mechanism for chaos

- Costs of rigidity and loss of power

- Disruptions, distractions, and trusting the process: the micro-growth of surrendering control

- Allowing life to unfold (easier said than done): practicing flexibility with expectations, not values

- Why surrendering to the experience is only possible with acceptance

- The quiet search for peace Jordan continues to postpone

- Diggable Reminder: QUIT gaslighting yourself!
