The Art of Saying “I Don’t Know”

In this episode, we explore something surprisingly freeing: not having all the answers. If you’re the one who usually has it figured out — the fixer, the planner, the solution-bringer — “I don’t know” can feel terrifying.I explain how your nervous system craves certainty, and why it panics when you’re in the unknown. But here’s the truth: uncertainty isn’t danger — it’s space. Space for creativity, softness, and trust.I walk you through how to sit in the “middle of the story” with one grounding breath, a gentle reframe (“I wonder what I’ll learn”), and the choice to hold the question instead of racing toward a solution.Confidence doesn’t come from being sure. It comes from being steady in the unsure.You can grab your copy of The Calm Planner hereThis episode includes AI-generated content.
