In this episode, Majet Reyes, LPC, delves into the idea of letting go of control in our lives. She discusses the challenges that arise from holding onto control, and the ways in which this can limit our ability to connect with others, experience joy and fulfillment, and grow as individuals. Drawing on her experiences working with first responders, Majet shares how the pressure to be strong and heroic can lead to trauma and burnout, highlighting the importance of self-care and vulnerability in maintaining one’s well-being.

Majet also emphasizes the power of taking a pause and building sustainable practices over time, rather than trying to make sweeping changes all at once. She explains how cultivating self-love and resilience can help us weather the ups and downs of life, and encourages listeners to explore these concepts in their own lives.

Through her compassionate and insightful approach, Majet offers practical strategies and tools for navigating life’s challenges, and reminds us of the importance of prioritizing our own well-being. Join us for an inspiring conversation on the power of letting go, and the possibilities that arise when we embrace vulnerability and self-love.
