#69: Control Freak Rehab: The Art of Accepting What Is
Episode 69
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
In this episode, Coach Ellen Melon gets real about what happens when our inner control freak takes the wheel — and how to find peace when life refuses to cooperate. At 32 weeks pregnant and freshly unemployed, Ellen shares honest stories from the last few months: hospital visits with her toddler, sleepless nights in an Ice Castle, money talks with her partner Mike, and the humbling realization that control is just fear dressed up as productivity. Through the lens of Al-Anon wisdom, HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired), and a few hard-earned lessons from motherhood and partnership, Ellen explores three types of acceptance — accepting events (like a sick child or a change in plans), people (especially the ones you love most), and even institutions (where judgment and self-righteousness sneak in). This is a conversation about surrendering without giving up, finding grace in chaos, and remembering that control doesn't keep us safe — connection does. If you've ever felt powerless, impatient, or just done with things not going your way, this one's for you. Affirmation: You are capable of accepting what is. You are capable of letting go of what was. You are capable of having faith in what will be.
