EPISODE 010: How Control Undermines Love with Alicia Muñoz
Come join us for a conversation (I made her rip up her notes ya’ll!) with brilliant writer & couples therapist, Alicia Muñoz. I’ve witnessed her in her unfolding for the last few years and let me tell you - it has been an honor to watch her on her journey. Today we dive into control (and how Alicia ultimately learned to surrender), leaning into support, and filling yourself up with stillness and pleasure. If you struggle with letting go of control or asking for what you need - this one’s definitely for you.
We dive into:
How Alicia used control in her life and what she worked through to surrender instead
Her experience of hitting bottom with a divorce in her late 20s - and what helped her move through it
The difference between love and need
Attachment traumas and the role they play in our need for control
Expressing your true desires in partnership
And more
