329: Calm as a Chaos Manager

Episode Description

Ever notice how some people fall apart when life gets messy, but others suddenly find this weird, laser-focused calm?

I’ve been reminded, especially over the last month, that I’m definitely the latter.

This week, I’m on the front porch talking about what happens when the world gets chaotic and your brain actually works better. I dig into why some of us think more clearly when everything’s going sideways, how that might actually be a gift (not something that requires a diagnosis), and where the danger line sits between “crisis competence” and creating chaos just to feel in control.

Because maybe peace doesn’t always look like quiet. Maybe sometimes it looks like competence and “let’s get this done.”
