Journey of You
Ep 40 Surrender
Is surrender a sign of weakness, or is it the ultimate demonstration of your empowerment?
In this extra-juicy episode, Devin, Felicia, and Chris gather to redefine surrender. They dismantle the misconception that letting go is the same as "giving up" and reveal it as an evolved state of being that unlocks maximum flow and minimizes suffering.
You’ll discover:
- The core truth from Seneca: "Fate leads the willing and drags along the reluctant." When you fight the river of life, you simply waste energy.
- Why only an empowered person can truly surrender—and how fighting to control the outcome often creates the very pain and struggle you fear.
- "Pain is inevitable... but suffering is a choice." Learn how surrendering to life's toughest moments (like a challenging hike or a severe health crisis) allows magic to unfold.
- Felicia's real-time experience of realizing her preparation for a World Championship was actually a fear-based attempt to control anxiety, and how surrendering to the anxiety itself releases its power.
- A clear guided demonstration to help you identify your current relationship to the "river of life" and consciously choose to jump onto the "floaty."
This episode is your invitation to drop the paddle, trust the current, and ride the river of life to magical places.
