In this episode, we explore the painful intersection of love and control—what we think it means to care, and what it actually means to let go.Drawing from Buddhist teachings on compassion, non-attachment, and the illusion of control, we’ll look at:The difference between love and responsibilityHow to sit with fear without trying to fixWhy letting go isn’t giving upIf you’ve ever thought, “If they really loved me, they’d change,” this episode offers a gentler, wiser path forward.
