Let Them Be: Finding Peace in Releasing Control
Have you ever lost sleep replaying a workplace conversation, crafting mental rebuttals to passive-aggressive comments, or second-guessing your perfectly reasonable email etiquette? You're suffering from what we call "the disease of caring too much about what people think" – and we've got the cure.
The revolutionary "Let Them" philosophy isn't complicated, but it is life-changing. Instead of performing endless mental gymnastics trying to control how others behave, you simply let people be who they are and move on with your life. This episode unpacks why we've become addicted to validation and approval, exposing how society trained us to keep everyone happy at the cost of our own peace. The science is clear: the harder you try to control others' opinions, the less control you actually have – it's like squeezing a bar of soap only to watch it fly away faster.
