Ever feel like you're constantly fighting against life? Trying to control people, outcomes, or the future and it's exhausting you?

In this episode of How to Be Happy, we're diving into why trying to control everything is making you less happy; and how to finally let go without giving up. Learn about the Locus of Control model, explore the power of surrender (including my personal story with The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer), and discover practical tools to help you release the need for control and find peace, purpose, and focus in your day-to-day life.

We’ll unpack:

  • Why control is often an illusion (and how it backfires)
  • How to work with your circle of control, influence, and surrender
  • Why surrender isn’t weak, it’s a powerful happiness skill
  • How the “raft and river” metaphor can transform your stress
  • The surprising link between trust, faith, and wellbeing
  • Research-backed tools to help you let go and flow with life

This is a must-listen if you’re tired of micromanaging life, struggling with anxiety or overthinking, or want to cultivate calm confidence in the face of uncertainty.
