Do you ever feel like you're gripping onto things that werenever yours to control in the first place? In this episode of The Air is Free, Sue and Frida tackle the ever-frustrating battle of what you can control versus what you can’t. From personal relationships to daily annoyances (like when the grocery store is out of eggs), we explore how much energy we waste trying to bend reality to our will—when real freedom comes from letting go.

Through personal insights, practical tools, and wisdom fromour favorite four-legged teachers (horses, of course!), we break down how to shift your mindset, stop the endless mental loops, and embrace what’s actually within your power. Tune in for a fresh perspective on control, resilience, and why some things are meant to be free—just like the air.

Highlights from this episode:

✅ How to identify what’s truly in your control (hint: wayless than you think).
✅ The power of presence and how horses process emotions better than we do.
✅ Two simple exercises to help you let go and regain your peace.

Breathe in, let go, and press play.
