EP 006: Why Not Knowing Is Exactly Where You Need to Be
Jul 08, 2025
What if the most productive thing you could do right now is absolutely nothing?
In this essential episode, I explore the sacred space between hearing your heart’s whisper and knowing your next move—that uncomfortable liminal zone where transformation actually happens.
Drawing from my own two-year journey in the “fertile void” after scaling down my successful business, I reveal why rushing to fill uncertainty might be robbing you of your most profound pivot.
I share practical wisdom on creating intentional space, grieving old identities, and trusting life’s timeline over your own agenda.
If you’re caught between what was and what could be, feeling pressure to have it all figured out, or struggling with the discomfort of not knowing, this episode offers a radical reframe: the unknown isn’t empty—it’s full of potential.
Essential listening for anyone in transition who needs permission to trust the process and stop forcing clarity before it’s ready.
