Ep 152: How Life Humbled Me—and What It Finally Taught Me About Control

We all say we’re prepared for whatever life throws at us—until we’re not.
In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when life humbles you.

For years, I thought I could outsmart hardship with self-awareness, tools, and grit. Then came the season that brought me to my knees—depression, shame, and the unraveling of everything I thought I could control.

What I learned changed me: that control is the greatest illusion, that hiding only deepens the pain, that owning your truth expands you, and that, somehow, every humbling season is necessary for our growth.

If you’ve ever hit a breaking point you didn’t see coming—if you’ve ever wondered how to find meaning when the bottom drops out—this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really means to surrender, to be human, and to rebuild from the inside out.

Because the truth is, when life humbles you, it’s not punishment—it’s an invitation.
