624: When To Surrender - And When Not To...

Sahara Rose
About this episode

We hear the word “surrender” all the time in spirituality, but what does it actually mean?

 

For most of my life, surrender didn’t make sense. My mom fled war in Iran, my dad too, and everything I learned growing up was about fighting for freedom, not giving in. So when people said “just surrender,” I thought it meant giving up.

 

It wasn’t until my marriage ended that I learned what real surrender was. I didn’t have a choice anymore. I had to trust that Spirit was guiding me somewhere greater, even if I couldn’t see where. That moment opened the door to a year of complete flow. I left everything behind, traveled the world with one suitcase, and discovered new archetypes within myself that I never knew existed.

 

But eventually, I realized there’s a paradox in all of this. If we only surrender, we can lose direction. If we only control, we block the magic. The truth is, we need both.

 

✨ In this episode, I explore:

  • What surrender really means and how it shows up in our lives
  • The balance between trusting the universe and taking aligned action
  • The archetypes of “Surrender Sarita” and “Control Candace”
  • How to know when life is asking you to release versus when it’s time to focus
  • Why both structure and flow are needed to create your dharma

This conversation is a reminder that surrender isn’t about giving up. It’s about trusting that Spirit may have a bigger plan than the one you made for yourself.
