Why Letting Go Gave Me More Control Than I Ever Thought Possible

For most of my life, I believed control was my superpower. It helped me build, survive, and win. But as I sit here—11 years into marriage, with a business that’s thriving and a mission bigger than me—I realize something else was true all along:

Control is an illusion.
And letting go saved me.

When my husband Kevin said those words to me over a decade ago, I laughed them off. But they stuck. And when life threw the kind of curveballs you can’t whiteboard your way out of—health scares, car crashes, rebuilding from scratch—I finally understood.

Control wasn’t strength.
Surrender was.

In surrender, I found peace. Power. And a self I’d never met before—the one who doesn’t have to manage everything, because she trusts herself to respond with love, clarity, and strength.

This isn’t just my personal revelation—it’s also the energy behind everything we’re building at Mom Bomb. Products, systems, and support that help women release the pressure to be perfect and instead just be.

Because the moment you stop trying to control everything is the moment you step into real freedom.
