Listen "On Control"
Episode Synopsis
Why do many of us seek control in the relationships we have with partners, coworkers, and friends, even when this leads repeatedly to bad outcomes?In this episode Mike and I discuss the cost of control to our health, our growth and our happiness, and the secret to remedying this behaviour – build up self-confidence and resilience, resolve past hurts, and work to dispel fears of rejection. Rather than a weakness, this is pure courage, and the path to better relationships and freedom for ourselves and others. After a decade and a half of regular dialogue in a local café, I, Renee Beale, ex-scientist turned producer and coach, decided to transform coffee with emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin into this podcast, to share his unique perspective on the mind and how we can use our curiosity and creativity to gain control and rediscover peace – that’s been so helpful in my own life. If you found this episode insightful, we’d love it if you could share it with others. After all minds can bite and these bite-sized conversations offer remedies.
