Control Is an Illusion

Anxiety is at an all-time high, with nearly half of Americans experiencing a diagnosable mental health condition in their lifetime. I know this struggle firsthand—I was one of those statistics. In 2011, I was diagnosed with severe panic and anxiety disorder, believing the lie that I could control everything. But control is an illusion, and trying to hold onto it only leads to exhaustion and fear.

In this episode, I share my journey from anxiety and self-reliance to full surrender to Jesus. True peace isn’t found in control, but in trusting the One who holds it all. We’ll explore why surrender is the key to freedom and how shifting our perspective can bring lasting peace.

If you're tired of striving, overwhelmed by fear, or simply searching for a deeper sense of purpose, this episode is for you.

Want to go deeper? My book Nervous Breakthrough shares my full story and how I found freedom from fear and anxiety.
