Description

Life has a way of surprising us.


Sometimes it’s a new opportunity, other times it’s the kind of change that knocks the wind out of you.


In this episode of Tom's Life Lab, Tom shares what he’s learned about dealing with life’s curveballs, the moments when plans fall apart and certainty disappears.


He explores why our first instinct to control or fix isn’t always the right one, and how peace comes not from pretending we’re fine, but from feeling what’s real and asking a better question: not “why me?” but “what now?”


Listen now and try this week’s Life Lab experiment: If life has thrown you a curveball, stop resisting, feel what’s there, then choose your next move.
