The Hidden Reason Control Is Destroying Your Peace | Episode 369

الوصف

In this follow-up episode of Small Talk, Alec's back with Peng Mendoza to reveal a hard truth about high achievers: the more you try to control everything, the more anxious, restless, and unhappy you become.Peng opens up about the seasons when she was doing everything “right”: working hard, hitting goals, serving people. But yet still feeling empty and disconnected on the inside. She shares how the pressure to force outcomes and hold everything together led to burnout, and how learning to surrender, trust the process, and align with God’s timing brought her the peace and clarity she had been chasing for years. This conversation explores the unseen battles behind success, the difference between striving and aligning, and why real growth often begins the moment you let go. If you’ve ever felt tired of pushing, afraid to slow down, or stuck even while moving forward, this episode will change the way you look at success, peace, and control, and remind you that sometimes, surrender is the most powerful strategy of all.Follow the podcast on IG: @smalltalkpodcasts with @aleccuenca_ and @pengymendoza Hosted on Acast.
