Behind the Scenes: How I’m Letting Go of Control and Inviting More Not Knowing in Business [Ep. 27]
Description
What if not knowing isn’t a problem to solve… but a portal?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m taking you inside my real, unpolished process of letting go of control and learning to surrender to uncertainty in my business.
This isn’t a strategy breakdown or a step-by-step framework.
It’s a field note from the middle of the unknown — the place I usually only talk about after clarity arrives.
Right now, I’m in a season where the next steps aren’t clear, timelines are shifting, and the path ahead doesn’t have the tidy edges my mind would prefer. And instead of forcing clarity, I’m practicing something far more uncomfortable… and far more powerful:
Not knowing.
Letting go of control.
And trusting what I can’t yet see.
In this episode, I’ll take you behind the curtain and share what this actually looks like — the thoughts, the fears, the quiet miracles, the resistance, and the deeper intelligence that shows up only when we stop trying to outrun uncertainty.
If you’re in a moment where your logic wants a plan but your intuition whispers “slow down,”
this one is for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear
- What not knowing actually feels like inside my body and business
- Why your mind fears uncertainty and reaches for control
- How I’m practicing letting go while still running a business
- The difference between “waiting” and “surrendering”
- Why slowing down doesn’t mean losing momentum
- The hidden intelligence inside uncertainty
- How the unknown becomes a portal for intuition, alignment, and direction
This is not a polished story with a beginning and an end. This is a living moment, a behind-the-scenes share from a season of dismantling old structures, following intuitive breadcrumbs, and relearning what it means to trust the deeper rhythms of my work.
