Restorative Grief with Mandy Capehart

"Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but wanting to control it." This week, we are unpacking the misunderstandings between control and clarity to see how it will help us learn to trust ourselves instead of searching for a future we can predict.

"When we need to reclaim our sense of power and control in the world, it doesn't take an iron fist." The idea I have for you isn't going to be a reasonable idea for everyone, but if you're interested in it at all, test it out for a day or three and see how you feel. Everything is just an experiment, so if you hate it, set it aside or see how you might adapt it to be a better fit for your life.
