The "Art" of Not Knowing Without Spiraling Into Anxiety

What if you could sit in the unknown without overthinking your way out of it? This episode is about anxiety in uncertainty — that feeling when you don't know what's next and your brain won't stop trying to figure it out. About navigating the messy middle of major life changes when the only answer is "I don't know yet." For anyone who spirals in the unknown and needs permission to just... be there. I'm sharing what it means to sit with uncertainty without making it mean you're doing it wrong. You'll hear why overthinking is a way to avoid the discomfort of not knowing, how anxiety spikes when we demand answers too soon, and what it means to trust the process when you can't see the outcome. This is about life transitions without timelines, and learning to be okay with "not yet."
