Listen Later

We’ve all been there, that moment when we don’t have the answer, and suddenly, panic sets in. Society has tricked us into thinking we need to know everything all the time.

But what if we embraced not knowing? In this episode, I explore the illusion of certainty, the fear of “I don’t know,” and how shifting our response can build trust and connection. Plus, a surprising twist on Mel Robbins’ viral “Let Them” philosophy. Join me as we rethink what it means to cross the bridge to our own holy grail. Let’s celebrate the unknown together.
