What if the peace you’re craving isn’t something you can plan for or control, but something you have to let in? In this episode, we explore why surrender can feel so unsafe for those of us who’ve survived anxiety, trauma, or perfectionism. You’ll learn how “control” is often a nervous system strategy, not a flaw, and why softening your grip might be the most courageous thing you do.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some recent synchronicities that gently nudged me to shift from Insight Timer to sharing live teachings on Facebook and YouTube Live again. We explore what it means to follow the signs our guides are constantly giving, whether it's through repeating numbers, feathers, songs, goosebumps, or chance encounters. This is a soft reminder that you are always being guided, and that surrendering to the flow often leads us exactly where we’re meant to be.

This episode explores the quiet but exhausting toll of emotional immaturity.

I share what drives these behaviors, why they often show up in close relationships, and how to protect your peace through boundaries, detachment, and compassion.

This episode is tender, raw, and a little heavier than usual. I speak about grief and how I personally experienced the five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

I also guide you through a soft guided meditaiton about grief. The meditaiton starts at 11:42.

Please note: this episode contains themes of death and grief. If you're not in the space for that, feel free to return when you’re ready.

When I say play, I don’t just mean toys or games..I mean anything that brings you joy without needing to be productive or useful.

It’s doing something just because it brings you job!

No goal, no improvement. Just delight.

Play reminds your nervous system that it’s safe to exist without earning your worth. ✨ Link to everything (socials, books, courses, etc.): https://beacons.ai/meganshirey
