318. Dealing with uncertainty in your 20s

318. Dealing with uncertainty in your 20s

Uncertainty is the defining emotion of our 20s. Career paths, relationships, identity, purpose ... so much of this decade is marked by not knowing. Does that have to be as uncomfortable as we think it does? In today’s episode, we unpack the psychology of uncertainty: why our brains fear it, how it triggers anxiety and avoidance, and why trying to “figure it all out” might be doing more harm than good.

We explore:

  • The neuroscience behind our discomfort with the unknown
  • Why perfectionism is often a mask for our fear of uncertainty
  • The cultural myths that make us believe we need a step-by-step life plan
  • How to assign meaning to uncertainty and build resilience through it
  • Practical strategies to take action even when the future feels unclear

If you've never felt more confused than you do now, and are unsure 'what's next', this episode is for you.
