Navigating Uncertainty & Living Unscripted with Sheila Eggert
What if uncertainty wasn’t something to fear, but an invitation to become more of who you truly are?
Alicia Dee sits down with transformational leadership coach & consultant, author, and TEDx speaker Sheila Eggert to explore living “unscripted,” beyond expectations and the roles we’ve been taught to play. Sheila shares her path of reinvention, leaving corporate life, navigating divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis, and following an inner knowing that led her to begin again. Together they discuss meeting challenges with curiosity instead of fear, and how transformation begins when we trust ourselves.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
• Fear vs. intuition – Fear is loud and urgent; intuition is quiet and steady.
• Why familiar feels safe – Even when it no longer fits, the brain prefers what it knows.
• Curiosity as a doorway – Shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What am I meant to learn?”
• Nervous system support – Change begins with feeling safe enough to listen.
• Releasing old identities – Stepping out of scripts written by family, culture, and career.
• Healing and meaning – Choosing openness over resistance in life’s hardest moments.
• Small aligned steps – Transformation grows through consistent micro-choices.
Key Takeaways
• You are not your thoughts, you are the observer who can choose them.
• Real safety comes from authenticity, not control.
• Challenges can become portals for growth when met with curiosity.
• Rest and self-care are strategies for resilience and leadership.
• The deeper question is not “What should I do?” but “Who am I becoming?”
