The Fear Behind My Need for Control | EP36

I Wanted to Quit Tennis Until I Realized This | EP39

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561024/fan_mail/new] Have you ever felt like you were getting better at something, and then suddenly you got worse? In this episode, I share a recent experience with tennis that almost made me want to quit. After weeks of improvement, I took a short break and when I came back, everything felt off. My focus was gone. My shots were inconsistent. And I started questioning everything.  This episode is about what I realized next—about joy, pressure, growth, and the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Because maybe growth doesn’t look like constant progress. Maybe it looks like choosing to keep going even when it feels like you’re going backwards. You don’t have to be perfect to keep going. You just have to keep going. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561024/support] Email: elenaswy@gmail.com IG: @elenaswenyu

Real Safety Doesn’t Come From Control | EP37

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561024/fan_mail/new] Have you ever felt like the only way to feel safe…is to control everything? In this episode, I explore something I’ve been slowly learning—Control doesn’t actually make me feel safe. It gives me the illusion of safety…but underneath, I’m still anxious. Still thinking. Still trying to hold everything together. Because maybe control was never about control. Maybe it was about fear. And a deeper need to feel safe. This episode is about what it looks like to gently unlearn that pattern—To pause instead of react. To feel instead of control. To take small steps without needing to know everything.  You don’t need control to feel safe. You just need to know you’re not alone.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561024/support] Email: elenaswy@gmail.com IG: @elenaswenyu
