Description

Life is always uncertain, but in times like these it feels especially heavy. Political extremism, climate crisis, economic instability, and the rise of authoritarianism worldwide can understandably leave us spiraling in fear of what might go wrong or what the future might hold. 

But what if we related to uncertainty differently? In this episode, I explore our collective relationship to control and surrender, unpacking how our cultural conditioning shapes the way we show up in the space between what has been and what is yet to be.

Together, we traverse the tender terrain of the unknown, examining the deeper roots of our fear, how attachment styles impact our response to uncertainty, and why practices like presence and gratitude can help us anchor into truth and trust when the world feels chaotic. 

This isn’t about creating the conditions for certainty—which I don’t believe we can do—but rather about how we build the courage and capacity to trust that even in the unraveling, we are held and supported.
