For generations, adult–child relationships were built on power ✨over✨.

Even as we’ve given kids more voice and rights, the old self-control mindset still linger, telling us we need to stay in charge at all costs.

This graphic by educator Kristin Wiens offers a wiser reframe: ✨ Power doesn’t have to be a threat.✨ It can be something we give, through understanding, safety, and stress awareness!

In my last post I started talking about fear of change and how it shows up in ways that many people would not associate with it.
My last questions were: What if control isn’t the answer? What if safety isn’t about staying in your comfort zone? What if you don’t even feel safe in your comfort zone? How can we feel safe, while loosening the death grip we have trying to control everything in our lives? What if change opens doors and brings opportunities?
I think the first step is getting past the concept that something is either good or bad. This is the most basic example of how judgement and competition show up in our lives and we don’t even see it. For instance, “I had a bad day”. Why was it a bad day? Was it bad or was it just that things happened that were inconvenient or that you did not prefer. Judgement and competition are both tools of fear. When we can remove our judgement and instead, stand back and observe the happening and ask, “What am I meant to learn here?” fear fades away. When it is no longer tied to an emotion, it is just a happening in life, an opportunity for learning. Then we can move on to “Trust and Allow”™
“Trust that the universe has your back and allow it the space to show you”™
When we can let go of control and get out of our own way, we allow miracles to happen. And what is a miracle? – a CHANGE. If miracles are change why are we so afraid? How many everyday miracles do we miss because we are so busy being humans doing and giving our attention to what we can’t control?
Let’s look at an example. Mary has been working at her job for awhile. It pays just enough to pay her bills, keep a roof over her head and basic nutrition covered. No extras, nothing fancy, enough to survive. She doesn’t hate it, but it’s definitely not her passion. On her way to work one morning she gets a flat tire. She gets to work just in time for a meeting announcing that she is going to be laid off. After she gets through the initial shock of this surprise announcement, right on the heels of another expense, Mary has a choice. She can either go immediately to fear (OMG CHANGE! Where’s my control?) and grab her victim identity’s hand and run or she can choose not to label the events as good or bad and instead approach it from the perspective that although this is definitely inconvenient, what am I supposed to see? I didn’t really like this job, it’s not my passion-this could be an opportunity. Instead of putting out an energy of fear which pushes opportunity away, she has chosen to “Trust and Allow”™ and give it space for something new to show up.
It’s important to understand that Trust and Allow™ doesn’t mean sit there and expect things to drop into your lap. It doesn’t work that way. You must take action and that action is directed by the opportunities presented.
Let’s go back to Mary. Mary has a few options. She can stay stuck in the need to control and allow her thinking that the only way for her to make a living is with a job and the only job she believes she can get is doing the same thing she was let go from, even though she really didn’t like it. So she applies for unemployment and starts filling out applications while feeling resentful of the path her life is taking. OR Mary can let go of the need to control HOW she makes a living. When she lets go of that control, she allows herself to see other possibilities. Now, when Mary goes to the unemployment office she notices opportunities that she wouldn’t have seen before. She discovers that she can get free training in a new career path that she thinks she would really like, that offers opportunity for growth and advancement. When Mary stopped limiting herself with control she could see new possibilities.
What are some parts of your life where your need for control (your fear) is blocking opportunities for growth and moving forward on your path? Can you loosen your just a little on those things you hold so tightly. What are you afraid of?

I’ve been noticing something coming up in my sessions lately, but in an unexpected manner.

Fear of change.

You might be saying, “that’s not unusual, fear of change is common.” I would agree to an extent, fear of change at face level can be something that a lot of people have challenges with. It can be scary because you can’t control change and, for many people, control is a central theme in their lives. It has been programmed into their being. Think of it, how many times have you been told to get yourself under control, control your child, get your life under control. We have been conditioned that if we don’t have everything under control, we are a failure or at the very least, deficient.

What I am noticing is not nearly as obvious. I am seeing fear of change show up in relation to other emotions like jealousy.

I am working with a client whose partner is very outgoing and personable. He loves connecting to other people, talking to his neighbors and helping whoever needs a hand, man or woman. It’s who he is. We have been examining why she gets so jealous when he talks to his female neighbor. We have worked on all of the common reasons for jealousy like trust and self worth and, it is still there. So, then we looked deeper. If he decided that he wanted to be with the neighbor, what would that mean for my client and there it was…CHANGE! It was the fear of change. It wasn’t the possibility of heart break although nobody wants to experience that. It was much broader. If this 15 year relationship ended, then what? Who would she be? What would her life look like?

I’ve seen fear of change show up as chronic anxiety. A feeling like you always need to be looking over your shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Many of these individuals have learned that change is dangerous and that the only way to maintain safety is to avoid change. That often involves controlling everything they possibly can and trying to control everything else.

What if control isn’t the answer? What if safety isn’t about staying in your comfort zone? What if you don’t even feel safe in your comfort zone? How can we begin to feel safe, while loosening the death grip we have on trying to control everything in our lives? What if change opens doors and brings opportunities?

🦨 The Skunk: "YOU FEAR MY SCENT. YOU SHOULD FEAR WHAT I EAT."
I AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOMB SQUAD.

"You run when you see me because you're afraid of a bad smell. But while you sleep, I am hunting the things that actually send you to the hospital. I am the only mammal in your backyard brave enough to dig up a hornet's nest and eat it like popcorn. I tolerate the stings so your children don't have to. I am not a nuisance; I am high-risk pest control working the night shift."

📰 FIELD REPORT: The Yellow Jacket Destroyer
Angle: Immunity through evolution.

[BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION] The skunk is one of the few predators that actively seeks out ground-nesting wasps (Yellow Jackets) and hornets.

The Technique: Skunks scratch at the entrance of a hive to agitate the insects. As the guard wasps fly out to attack, the skunk catches them in mid-air or crushes them as they exit. Once the defenders are depleted, the skunk digs up the comb to eat the high-protein larvae.

The Armor: Skunks have incredibly thick fur and tough skin that renders them largely immune to stings. A nest that would send a human to the ER is just a spicy dinner for a skunk.

THE UNSHOWN SIDES OF "PEPE LE PEW"
1. The "Ammo" Shortage (Why they don't want to spray)
The Biological Cost: Skunks are not trigger-happy. Their spray is a sulfur-based chemical weapon that is metabolically "expensive" to produce. They only carry enough for 5 or 6 sprays, and it takes up to 10 days to reload their glands.

The Warning: If a skunk sprays you, it’s because it thought it was going to die. Before they spray, they will stomp their feet, hiss, and even do a handstand (if it's a Spotted Skunk) to warn you. Spraying is a failure of diplomacy.

2. The Lawn Doctor
The Grub Hunter: If you see small, cone-shaped holes in your lawn in October, don't be mad. The skunk is digging for Japanese Beetle grubs. These grubs eat grass roots and kill your lawn from below. The skunk is performing free aeration and grub control. A few small holes are better than dead turf.

3. The Rabies Reality Check
The Statistics: While skunks can carry rabies, the "frothing aggressive skunk" is rare. Most healthy skunks are near-sighted, docile, and slow. They waddle. If you leave them alone, they are essentially harmless pacifists.

THE MANIFESTO: "MUTUAL RESPECT"
"I won't spray if you don't startle."
The Deal: The skunk wants to eat the bugs you hate (roaches, crickets, wasps, mice). All it asks for in return is personal space.

The Olfactory Myth: A skunk passing through your yard does not smell. They only smell when they discharge. If you smell skunk, something (a dog, a car, a predator) attacked them.

🤝 Our Duty: The "Speak Up" Protocol
How to coexist without the tomato juice bath.

The Action: Announce Your Presence.

The Vision Problem: Skunks have terrible eyesight. They can barely see 10 feet in front of them. If you walk out silently to take out the trash, you startle them.

Talk to the Night: Before you let the dog out or step onto the patio, speak out loud or clap your hands gently. "Hey skunk, I'm coming out."

The Retreat: If they hear you coming, they will waddle away. They don't want a confrontation. They just want the Yellow Jackets.

The next time you see that white stripe in the moonlight, don't panic. Just nod respectfully. He’s on his way to disable a landmine of stinging insects that was waiting for your lawnmower.

Hello… I’m a crane fly.

Many people think I’m a giant mosquito.
Some people panic when they see my long legs and wings.

But the truth is… I’m harmless.

I don’t bite.
I don’t drink blood.
I’m not hunting you.

Most of my short life is spent quietly resting in gardens, meadows, and near flowers. When I visit blooms, I sip nectar and sometimes help move pollen from one flower to another.

My larvae live in soil where they help break down organic matter and become food for birds, frogs, and other wildlife. In nature, even the smallest lives play a role.

I may look strange to you, but I’m simply another small creature trying to exist in the same world.

So the next time you see me resting on a wall or visiting a flower, remember:

I’m not a monster.
I’m not a threat.

I’m just a tiny part of nature.

Please let me live. 🌼

The brown shield-shaped insect crawling out from behind your window trim right now is the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug — Halyomorpha halys. It arrived from East Asia in the late 1990s, first detected in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Within two decades it spread to 46 states and became one of the most damaging agricultural pests on the continent.

Here's the problem. There's a native insect that looks almost identical — and it's one of the best predators your garden has.

The Spined Soldier Bug is the same shield shape, the same mottled brown coloring, roughly the same size. Most people can't tell them apart, so they kill both. The difference is in the shoulders. The Brown Marmorated has smooth, rounded shoulders. The Spined Soldier Bug has sharp spines jutting out from its shoulder line. That's the fastest ID. Look at the shoulders.

The invasive one feeds on over 100 crops — tomatoes, peppers, apples, peaches, corn. It pierces the skin and injects digestive enzymes, leaving brown necrotic spots that ruin the harvest. It costs U.S. agriculture hundreds of millions per year.

The native one hunts. It eats caterpillars, beetle larvae, Colorado potato beetles, cabbage loopers. Gardeners actually buy them as biological control. One Spined Soldier Bug can take out dozens of pest insects per week.

One is destroying your harvest. The other is defending it. Check the shoulders.
