Summary
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano shares a recent experience with losing control and how she quickly regained her composure while offering a webinar to over 1400 viewers who had registered. Control is an illusion, and when we subconsciously attach to any belief that has us feeling as if nothing could go wrong, we make ourselves vulnerable to suffering. Even if you have done everything possible to avoid things from going wrong, there is always the potential for things not to go as planned. Listen and learn from Lisa's sage wisdom as she opens her heart and shares with you what she recently learned during a moment of pure vulnerability.

| 0:39.8 | talking about why you should never beat yourself up when things don't go the way you planned. |
| 0:44.8 | So yesterday I hosted a webinar and it was a webinar that lasted two hours, which is |
| 0:51.0 | pretty long for a webinar. And I had planned this webinar for over a month. |

| 1:24.8 | And even though I practiced hosting this slideshow, and even though I was on the phone |
| 1:30.9 | with the technical platform that I was using, and I thought that I was ready to launch this webinar, |
