Have you ever found yourself watching someone struggle through something you already know how to do—and feeling like you might actually lose your mind? The impatience, the frustration, the urge to just take over and do it yourself?

Yeah, I’ve been there.

For most of my life, I believed that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. While that mindset has its perks—efficiency, control, and things done your way—it also has a cost. Constantly stepping in keeps others from growing and keeps us stuck in an endless cycle of over-responsibility.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

Why watching others struggle drives us crazy

The hidden cost of always doing it yourself

How to know when to step in—and when to step back

The emotional toll of carrying burdens that aren’t yours

Practical ways to shift from control to trust.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do—for ourselves and others—is to take a deep breath, step back, and trust the process… even when it drives us mad.

🎧 Tune in now, and let’s break the habit of over-carrying, over-doing, and over-controlling—because freedom is the advantage you already own.
