Is it possible to have a private discussion with her, maybe over a nice lunch or dinner together, where you can be honest and help her to understand that she can let go a bit more and give you freedom over your decisions? Maybe you can help her see the benefit to not only you but to her as well if you both have the freedom to make decisions and be at peace with those decisions.
Thank you.... that is a good point. She does seem to hyperfocus on others and what they are doing in their lives. She does this to my brother too. She is very stubborn, but I'll just have to continue to try to do this.
