Deeply Rested: Anti-Capitalist Conversations for Entrepreneurs The Mystery of Uncertainty: How to Find Power and Peace When Life Feels Out of Control
What if uncertainty isn’t something to fix, but something to feel?
In this July check-in episode, Nancy and I reflect on what happens when life throws a curveball you didn’t see coming. For me, it was a literal flooded basement, a denied insurance claim, and a hard week that made me question everything. For many of us, it’s the deeper collective pressure of these uncertain times: fewer referrals, unpredictable sales, and a sense that we’ve lost the path forward.
Nancy and I unpack the personal and collective weight of not knowing about money, about business, about what’s next, and we explore how to shift from the panic of powerlessness into the peace of possibility. Together, we explore how choice can be a form of healing, and why letting go of the need for certainty may be the most freeing move to make this summer.
If your July feels a little upside down too, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone, that reframing this moment can be powerful, and that you’re more resilient than you think.
