Ep. 144 | Why Not Knowing What to Do Next Isn't the Same as Being Lost

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode I'm sharing a reframe that has saved me more times than I can count — sometimes you don't know what the next right thing is, but you almost always know what it isn't. And that knowing is its own form of wisdom.  The Language of Letting Go asks: what doesn't feel right? What can't you stand? What makes you uncomfortable? Our guide is within, ever-present.  Today's episode is about trusting that guide — especially when it's telling you to wait.  Question to carry into your day: What is one thing you know you shouldn't do right now — and what would it look like to honor that knowing instead of overriding it?
