112: Why Being A Control Freak Isn't Always a Bad Thing
Jul 08, 2025
Roula Abou Haidar and Rosie Burrows


From dishwasher dramas to meeting meltdowns, we’re embracing the messy truth: most of us have a little control freak hiding inside. Roula dishes up a strong theory on spacing cutlery, Rosie interrogates every decision, and somehow we end up bonding over fear, trust, and perfectly stacked plates.

We cover:

  • Why you care so much about how the car is packed
  • The not-so-subtle art of controlling outcomes
  • Trust issues, dishwasher rage, and delegating like a grown-up
  • When taking control is actually a cry for help
  • And why your way *might* not be the best way (maybe)

It turns out being called a control freak isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes it just means you care… passionately, annoyingly, intensely care.

What’s your ultimate control freak move?
