This episode is the first in a series called The Myth of Knowing- the story that says we have to be certain, be the same, and always know the answer. But what if we didn’t have to pretend? What if “I don’t know” was an opening, not a problem?

In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure so many of us feel to always have the answer—to be sure, to be confident, to know. We’ll look at how that pressure starts early, and how it shows up in adulthood as performance, especially for those of us who’ve been marginalized, questioned, or told we had to prove ourselves.

Saying “I don’t know” can actually be a way back to yourself. A way into connection, curiosity, and real honesty. I wonder, what if not knowing wasn’t something to be ashamed of?
