After we make a decision, or feel a chapter ending, there’s often a strange, wobbly space that opens up: the in-between. In this episode, I share why that feeling is normal, why uncertainty can feel overwhelming, and how to meet it without spiraling.

I’ll guide you through my simple self-awareness rhythm: Connect • Focus • Flow™ to help you come back to calm, clarity, and trust when doubt, fear, or guilt show up. Along the way, I weave in short stories from my life (Australia, Hawaii, Bergen—and my dad) to show how intuition often speaks in ordinary, grounded ways, and how to tell the difference between intuition and impulse.

This episode is recorded in Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Key takeaways

Trust rarely arrives as a leap; it grows by taking one real step you can stand in tomorrow.

Why the in-between can feel shaky (and why it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong).

How to calm your nervous system when uncertainty takes over.

A clear way to tell intuition vs. impulse.

Naming what’s here (fear, doubt, guilt, the “guarantee” voice) takes the edge off and brings you back to the present.

You don’t need a perfect plan—just a next step that honours what matters.

Have a place that settles you. Go there when you’re in the in-between.

Journal prompts (save for later)

Where am I in the “in-between” right now and what feels uncomfortable about it?

A moment my body knew before my mind agreed was…

If my intuition had a quiet voice, what might it be saying?

Right now, what feels complete—even if I’m hesitant to admit it?

One way I can make uncertainty safer this week is… (sleep, time outside, an honest conversation, a kind boundary, an hour off screens).

What am I calling “uncertainty” that might simply be “newness”?

If doubt/fear/guilt could speak, what would they demand—and what would I answer back?

The Pause: From Overwhelm to Presence (coming soon)

In the next episode, we’ll explore Boundaries and Belonging. I’ll share what the 12 day Manaslu Circuit Trek taught me how pace is a boundary, rest is self-respect, and how real belonging starts when you don’t leave yourself behind.
