099: How to Surrender and Let Go of Fear

Do Life Big

Welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big!

I'm recording this live right now from our mountain home in North Carolina. 🏔️ We just got here the other day, and we’re all excited to spend three weeks soaking up nature, hiking, ziplining, and just unwinding.

My favorite part? Sitting on the deck at night with a drink in hand, 🍷 listening to the stream in the backyard under a sky full of stars. 🌌 It’s such a peaceful contrast to Florida’s hustle and bustle.

Today’s episode is all about surrendering and letting go of fear. 😌 It's funny how when you surrender, it becomes easier to let go of fear, and vice versa. If you’re someone who’s always trying to control every detail and force things to happen your way, this episode is for you.

Do you ever find yourself fighting so hard to make things happen, only to realize it shouldn’t be this hard? 😣 I remember a few years ago, we were trying to buy our first investment property here in North Carolina. I was obsessed with this one log cabin. We put in an offer, but the owner wouldn’t budge on the price. I tried everything, even writing him a heartfelt letter, but nothing worked. 💌 It wasn’t until I decided to let go and trust that the right house would come along that things started to shift.

About two weeks later, we found two perfect log cabins. 🏡 We put in an offer, and it was accepted as is, totally furnished. It was so easy and seamless, which was a stark contrast to the struggle with the first cabin. When you let go of control and surrender to what is, life can surprise you in the best ways. ✨

So, what are you fighting in your life right now? What fears are holding you back? It could be money, relationships, health—anything. Fighting these fears only takes away your peace of mind. Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up; it means accepting what is. 🧘‍♀️ It’s about understanding that you can’t control everything and being at peace with that.

Next time you feel the urge to control every detail, take a step back. Accept what is, take a deep breath, and let go. 🌿 Remember, everything by my divine right comes to me today in perfect order. Focus on what you can control and let the rest unfold naturally.
