“If I could just control my eating, my body, my schedule…then I’d finally feel at peace.” Sound familiar? In the final episode of Michelle’s myth-busting series, we take on the seductive promise of control—and why it always backfires. From diet rules and boot camps to productivity hacks and perfect morning routines, control offers the illusion of safety but delivers pressure, rebellion, and shame. Michelle unpacks the control paradox—the harder you grip, the more out of control you feel—and shows why real peace comes not from micromanaging but from trust. You’ll hear both the science (autonomy, survival responses, stress physiology) and personal stories of letting go, plus practical ways to experiment with trust in your own life.
