Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From world events to our personal lives, it feels like we’re all trying to make decisions without a map. In this episode, I’m flying unscripted and talking candidly about how I’ve been navigating uncertain times—emotionally, mentally, and practically.
I share a story about a friend stuck in doomsday thinking… and how I recognized myself in her fears. I also unpack the two common extremes we lean toward when the future feels shaky: chronic catastrophe thinking and delusional confidence. Been on both ends—neither feels great.
What if the certainty you’re clinging to is actually holding you back?
Inside this episode:
How our brains fake certainty to calm chaos
Why worst-case scenario thinking feels safer but actually makes things worse
The surprising power of “delusional confidence” (and why it works)
What I’m personally doing to ground myself through this weird season
How to shift from inspired chicken 🐔 energy to snow leopard 🐆 calm
This is for anyone who’s tired of trying to control the uncontrollable—and ready to focus on showing up for what actually is within reach.
📍 Let me know where you land on the spectrum: panic-mode prepper or overly-optimistic manifestor?
