If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stuck trying to control everything, this episode invites you into a different way of living: one rooted in surrender, self-awareness, and faith.

After a year of exploring the Yamas and Niyamas, we’ve arrived at the final practice: Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender). But what does it really mean to let go of control and trust God, especially in real, everyday life?

In this episode of The Problem with Perfect, we explore:

  •  How to stop trying to control everything 
  •  What it looks like to let go and let God
  •  How to manage triggers and emotional reactions 
  •  Why spiritual growth and healing require surrender 

Together, we discuss how surrender isn’t passive. Instead, it's choosing to fully engage in your life while releasing the outcome and learning to trust God in uncertainty.

If you’ve ever wondered how to let go of control, grow in your faith, or find peace in the unknown, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Because maybe peace isn’t found in control, maybe it’s found in surrender.
