What really has access to you right now?Most of us don’t realize how much we’re carrying every single day. Beliefs. Fears. Habits. Notifications. Relationships. Commitments we said yes to without thinking. And just like a key, the smallest thing can control access to everything else in your life.In this episode of the Health, Tech & Wellness Podcast, Crystal and I break down a simple but powerful metaphor. "If the smallest thing you carry controls access to everything you own… what’s the key to your life right now?"We talk honestly about mental health, boundaries, self-talk, digital clutter, and the people and habits that quietly control our energy. Not from a place of perfection, but from real life. The stuff we’re all dealing with.This episode isn’t about fixing everything overnight. It’s about noticing what you’re carrying… and giving yourself permission to lay some of it down.In this episode, we cover: • Why the smallest keys often have the most power over your life • How beliefs, fears, and habits quietly control your mental health • Boundaries and self-talk as keys that protect or drain your energy • Healthy ways to unlock stress through solitude, creativity, and unplugging • Recognizing who has access to you and when it’s time to take the key back • How digital clutter and constant notifications fuel anxiety and burnout • The importance of pausing before reacting and learning to say no • Small, intentional shifts that lead to real, sustainable changeIf you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or mentally exhausted, this conversation is for you.💬 Join the conversationHow many apps did you delete after this episode?Just drop a number in the comments 👇
