Ep. 374 - The Energetics of Surrender: Ego, Envy, and Following Joy

How would it feel if you decided—just for a moment—to let the universe hold you and guide you? Do you feel peace and release? Or anxiety and panic? If it’s the latter, you’re likely struggling with fear of letting go, being hyper-focused on outcomes, or needing to ground into safety. This episode is here to remind you that surrender may be your medicine. In this round table discussion, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive deep into one of the hardest but most transformative parts of manifestation: surrender. They unpack what surrender really means—beyond the vague “just let go”—and how it shows up in our bodies, our relationships, and our manifestation process. From identifying ego attachments and timelines, to navigating envy and resentment, to following joy pings as a portal to alignment, this episode is both expansive and grounding. If you’ve ever wondered how to release control, this conversation will change how you see surrender forever. It’s not about giving up. It’s about opening more space to dance with the universe.
