Why You Can’t Control How People See You (And Why That’s the Key to Peace)

Описание: Have you ever caught yourself thinking:


“If they would just change, I could finally relax”


“If people saw me differently, I’d feel okay”


“If I could just get my life together, I could breathe”






In this episode, Anne explores why trying to control how other people think, feel, or perceive you keeps your nervous system locked in tension, and why peace doesn’t come from fixing yourself or getting everything just right.






Drawing from coaching work, nervous system regulation, and insights from Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön, Anne unpacks:

• Why outsourcing your safety to other people never works
• How perfectionism disguises itself as “self-improvement”
• What it actually means to stop arguing with reality
• Why peace comes from being with discomfort, not eliminating it





This episode is not about discipline, control, or becoming a better version of yourself.






It’s about learning how to stay with yourself, even when things feel uncertain, messy, or unresolved.






Nothing here is meant to push you or fix you.


Let it land. Let your body catch up.


Feeling capable, but still falling off when life gets loud?


This podcast is for the woman who knows what to do, but keeps disconnecting from herself under pressure.


Around here, we talk about staying with yourself when motivation fades, building real capacity instead of pushing harder, and creating a life that feels steady, regulated, and yours, even in chaotic seasons.


No hustle. No performative discipline. No starting over every Monday.
