66. What Are You White-Knuckling? How to Finally Surrender It to God w/ MASON and LAURA MILLIKEN

Did you find The Energy to Heal after seeing Laura and Mason on TBN's Praise? Welcome! We're so glad you're here. This episode is a great place to start.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken is joined by her husband, Mason Millican, for a deeply personal conversation about surrender, emotional healing, marriage, business, and what it actually looks like to stop white-knuckling your life and trust God with the outcome.

What happens when you've prayed, worked, strategized, worried, and tried everything you know to do—and you still can't control what happens next?

Laura and Mason explore the difference between simply saying we trust God and reaching the point where we're genuinely willing to release the outcome to Him. They discuss how attachments—to people, money, success, our children, our reputation, or even the future we've imagined—can quietly begin controlling our emotions and stealing our peace.

Mason shares a defining moment from his own entrepreneurial journey when his company was $70,000 short on a Friday and he finally confronted the reality that he couldn't keep carrying the weight of the business himself. What happened next became a powerful lesson in surrender.

Laura also explains how unresolved trauma and subconscious beliefs can create emotional reactions we don't fully understand. Through examples from Splankna sessions, marriage, parenting, business, and everyday relationships, Laura and Mason explore how going beneath the surface can reveal what we're actually afraid to lose.
