EP 89: Real Confidence- Control is Confidence in Action

  1. EP 89: Real Confidence- Control is Confidence in Action Alyssa Dver 12:28

Let’s talk about something that we all grapple with but don’t always acknowledge—control. 

Yeah, that word might hit you in different ways depending on how you see it. For some, control sounds like a bad thing, a power trip, or even manipulation. But for others, it’s a way to bring order, efficiency, and Clarity into their lives. 

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this, especially after someone once called me a “control freak.” I was offended, and I bet you would be too. But the more I dug into it, the more I realized control isn’t all bad. In fact, it’s something we all do, whether we like to admit it or not. And guess what? It can be a force for good, not just for us, but for the people around us.

Imagine walking into a restaurant and being genuinely nice to your server. What happens? They’re likely to respond with the same kindness, right? In that moment, you’re controlling the interaction in a positive way. It’s not manipulative; it’s human nature. 

The way we act can directly influence how others behave. That’s control, but it’s also compassion, connection, and confidence in action.

Control isn’t the enemy—it’s a tool— and in this episode of Real Confidence I’m going to show you how it’s a force for good. And when you know how to do that, you’ll want to let your control freak flag fly!
