In this episode, Michelle explores what happens when you don’t know the next step—and why that experience is far more human (and helpful) than we’ve been taught to believe.
She discusses:
- Why not knowing feels so uncomfortable—and where that discomfort comes from
- How diet culture and hustle culture both promise certainty and control
- The nervous system’s role in urgency, overthinking, and premature decisions
- Why uncertainty is often information, not danger
- How the urge for clarity can show up with food, body image, relationships, and work
- The difference between aligned action and action driven by discomfort
- Why some seasons are meant for pausing, integration, and listening—not fixing
- How body trust requires slowing down and tuning into subtle signals
- What it really means to “stay present” instead of forcing answers
Michelle also shares a powerful reflection prompt to help you notice where you might be pressuring yourself to know more than you do right now—and what might shift if you allowed yourself to simply not know, just for today.
Reflection prompt from the episode:
Where in your life are you pressuring yourself to know more than you actually do right now?
And what might shift if you allowed yourself to not know—just for today?
As always, thank you for being here and for allowing this to be a space where certainty isn’t required and being human is enough.
