If there’s one thing humans resist, it’s not knowing - stepping into a void of uncertainty (a.k.a being alive).

In this episode, I explore our very human relationship with the unknown. I reflect on how your mind instinctively scrambles to make meaning when we find ourselves in unfamiliar territory - and how that effort to “work it out” can sometimes get in the way of effectively navigating what unfolds, and even thriving and creating in it.

Borrowing lessons from improvisation, I talk about the discomfort of not-knowing, the urge to assign a story, and the subtle fear that can creep in when nothing makes sense yet. This is me making the case for more curiosity instead of control, when we don’t know what to do next.
