Hello There,
There is something you have been holding so tightly for so long that your hands have forgotten what open feels like.
Not something dramatic. The daily things. The outcome of the launch. The trajectory of the relationship. The response to the content. The mood of the household. The timeline of the calling. You have been managing it all quietly, relentlessly, with every available watt of cognitive energy and calling it responsibility. Calling it being on top of things. Calling it the price of caring.
It is not responsibility. It is exhaustion wearing responsibility’s coat.
I recorded a full episode about this. About what is actually happening in your brain when you try to control something and why the control response is costing you more than the uncertain outcome ever could. About the woman who built a business she hated by removing every variable including every other human being’s contribution from it. About the specific, physical, address-in-the-body location of the grip and what it is protecting you from that is not actually a threat. About what Jesus meant when He said consider the lilies. About the open hand. About what becomes available in your relationships, your work, your calling, your body when you finally put down what was never yours to carry.
Go listen. All of it. Then come find me.
I am Branden LaNette.Voice Authority Podcast Coach. Your mess is your message. And the specific mess of someone who has been controlling everything and producing exhaustion instead of results I know that mess. I have been in it. I know exactly where the grip lives and exactly what it takes to build the open hand in its place. And I know how to take everything you have been white-knuckling and turn it into the podcast that finally delivers it to the people who have been waiting for it.
The woman I mentioned the one who built the business she hated and could not start the podcast she is building now. With an open hand. And the aliveness in her work since the launch is not something she managed into existence. It came through the release. It came through putting down what was not hers to carry and picking up what was. And watching that happen in real time, in a person who had been gripping for years, is the specific reason I do this work every single day.
You can have that. Not someday. In the next few months, if you stop waiting for the perfect conditions and start building from the real ones.
