Hi! Hi. It’s me. Maybe you didn’t notice, but I’ve missed a couple weeks of uploading new episodes. It’s because I’ve been deep in the throes of uncertainty, and instead of feeling anxious about it getting in the way of WELL / AWARE, I thought… why not include a check in every so often about what’s up? It’s a huge part of the practice, after all. So this is a new format. Be honest. Let me know if you hate it, okay? This episode is just me, waxing not-so-poetic on what it’s like to be soaked in uncertainty, the good and bad.
In this super-short episode, I discuss:
- things to remember when you’re in a really crazy parallel uncertain universe
- one of two things that happen: progression vs. regression
- negativity bias – what it is and why it’s interesting
- how some comfortability is needed for uncertainty
- the relationship between uncertainty and growth
- role of support and supporters
- resilience
- using self-sabotage as a crutch
- how to WIN at uncertainty
Tell me what you like, what you don’t like. Should I do more of these? Tell me what you want, what you really really want. Okay?
I’d love to hear about your “uncertain” experiences. Please share!

Loved this episode.
When Sean and I were approached to be the “minimalist gurus” for Dr. Oz’s Good Life site for this month, I had a huge wave of uncertainty flood over me. Many thoughts such as, “Who am I to do this?” “What if people don’t like our ‘tips’?” The list went on for days before I finally shared the feelings with my partner and I noticed once I spoke my fear aloud, the power of the words and thoughts I had before, simply weaken and I was able to be grateful for the opportunity. Let’s be real, it’s not every day an opportunity like this comes along.
Thank you, Lindsay, for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings in such a relatable yet authentic way.
