What is the process of surrendering?
Most people never crack open to surrender because they missed the phase in the middle. The phase in the middle is grieving. Surrender is a death. It's a death of your ego. It's a death of who you thought you were. It's a death of a phase of your life like, well, I'm no longer 20. I'm 30. I'm 40. I'm 50. It's a death of a dream, a death of a job. It's a death of something.
Why is grieving important in surrender?
And so to truly move on into, I'm going to embrace the new. You have to be willing to grieve for the old and most of us never truly let ourselves grieve and we want to move on and surrender and that's why we can't open our hearts to surrender because we're not truly letting go and grieving and honoring what was.

Okay, I want to get right into your book, Surrender, okay? Because I am the person, I am the type A overachiever my entire life, and I want to wrap my head around the idea of surrender, but I don't even know where to begin. Am I crazy or do you hear this all the time?
No, I think it's quite normal, to be honest. I would say you'd be more crazy if we started the conversation by saying, yeah, surrender's easy. I love surrender. It's a piece of cake. That would be more unusual. I think more normal. And I would break down why. We can go deep into why that is. So it's really... It's probably you and 7.4, 9, 9, 9, 9, other billion people on the planet have that experience. But yeah, look, Surrender, I'm really excited about the theme of Surrender. I'm really passionate about it. For me, it's a calling. This was not the book I thought I was going to write. So for disclosure, I had to surrender to the book that was seeking to be written because I wanted to write Surrender.
a whole different kind of book. I wanted to write a book that sells, the book that I thought would sell, a book I thought would be the best, a book I thought people would want because when you say surrender, people tend to go, oh shit, and run away. But it was the book that was seeking to be written. So when I surrendered to that, everything flowed. So for me, Surrender, I believe, is actually the most powerful thing that we can do. I just want to start off there. Surrender, I think, is the key to your next level. Surrender is the real secret to authentic manifestation. Surrender is the password for freedom. If you look at the great ones, and so if you type A achievers out there, you look at the truly great ones,
Jesus, Buddha, Bruce Lee, Gandhi, Muhammad Ali, Bob Marley, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King. I mean, dare I say, Elon Musk. On some level, they all surrendered themselves. And in the surrender to a deeper vision, in their surrender to the universe, to life, to their deeper calling, they were able to transcend their own ego's human limitations
