Today we hear Eddie’s wife, Angela, talk about the concept of taking control, in spite of the stresses and the pressures of life. She talks about what she’s been learning from listening to “Take Control of Your Life” by Mel Robbins. We talk about the science of fear and stress, picking up on its signs and causes, and finding healthy, long-lasting ways to cope. We talk about the dangers of “fake control”, and define trauma as anything that leaves a lasting impression of fear. We explain how Angela took control in her life in the context of her top strengths, such as “Arranger” and “Maximizer.” We then extend the special offer of a free 30 min strengths coaching session with Eddie to those who take the Clifton strengths assessment (go to gallup.com/access) on the day this episode is released. Send the assessment to eddie@eddiepvilla.com.
