Learning to Surrender

Gareth Michael & Kim Jewell
About this episode
In their latest episode, Gareth and Kim delve into the concept of surrender, exploring why it's often difficult yet liberating to relinquish control and expectations, and open up to accepting our life path, wherever that may lead. They ask how much control we actually have over the key moments in our lives, and why we try to maintain control, and are reluctant to surrender.

They discuss the self-exploration that comes along with surrendering, including the challenging conversations it may prompt and the life skills it reveals. They also look at the difference between surrendering and giving up, and how the idea of surrendering might not be as scary as we sometimes think.

Our hosts talk in depth about the role of surrender within relationships, and how letting go can lead to healthier dynamics. They also look at how surrender can foster emotional resilience. 

Gareth and Kim conclude the episode with tips on navigating the journey towards surrender, emphasizing self-love, self-compassion, and acceptance.
