Bon Bon! I’m marinating in it too- finding little moments to break free from certainty and giving myself permission to stay curious instead. Thank you for reading and I’d love to know if you experience and special moments of Uncertainty on the ride! ❤️
K, I can't begin to tell you how much I love your writing. So much of what you say resonates with me all the time. The synchronicity of it baffles me!
Ok so first- I get what you're saying about helping that drunk girl out just so she would've you. But as true as that may be, I don't believe for a minute that your beautiful heart was in the right place.
Second - yes to those signs! Yes so much! I LOVE when that happens. It's like you're being guided by an invisible hand and the signs are the validation. Love that this happened to you.
Lastly, certainty - so I have been wrong on soooooooo many things. Idk why I insist on still being certaint even though I am constantly being proven wrong. I will say though, that I have learned (a fairly recent development) how to be better at letting go of my certainty and stay open to learning. I have awful imposter syndrome and have a hard time I deserve to belong. I also always feel like everyone else knows so much more than I do, especially at work. I decided to start believing in myself more and honestly, K, I swear to God change started to happen quickly. I gave into vulnerability and decided to allow myself to ask questions. Screw it if I looked dumb. And you know what happened? I learned that no one could answer them. So often I get directed somewhere else because that person doesn't know. All this time I've held people on a pedestal thinking they knee so much more than I did and yet here they are, unable to tell me what I thought they knew! That blew my mind.
Ok one last thing- I too am still slowly listening to our Brene and haven't finished it yet either 😊
Thank you so much for reading, and taking the time to affirm the synchronization of our LIVES, I LOVE to be in the same cappuccino cup as you.
I recently realized that my hero’s are just people at the end of the day too, it’s both a sigh of relief that nobody’s perfect, and also a disappointment that nobody has “it” all figured out.
Thank you for not shaming me for still getting through Daring Greatly, you are simply divine. ✨
I watched Conclave on a flight today and was struck by that same moment. Certainty. Very powerful and have not stopped. thinking about it all day. Love that it met something so strong to you as well. Words to live by for sure.
Fantastic post K! I love that you leaned into uncertainty and synchronicity was unleashed! As for the drunk girl in the bathroom stall next to you... An invitation to focus on your impact rather than your intent. You helped someone when they truly needed it and without benefit to yourself (okay, maybe you also felt good about yourself, is that so wrong?). Sometimes we all need a hero and we need to play the hero for someone else. You are amazing K, and I'm so lucky to call you my friend. XO 🥰❤️🥰❤️
Amy 😭 what a thoughtful and kind reframe of thought for my bathroom bestie (who’s name I’ll never know) situation. Thank you for finding ways to lift me up, for cracking open my own self-certainties. I hope you know that I consider myself ever so lucky too, to be friends with you. ✨🪄💓
Ibrahim 😭✨ I am still learning how to receive this level of kindness. Thank you so much, your words mean everything. If we need me, we absolutely need you, too.
This is great! Certainty leads to so much rigidity, intolerance, and separation. I will marinate on that this week... ❤️

🤩 Stef I am HONORED to ride the party wave of synchronicity with YOU 🏄🏼♀️
The movie is STILL in my mind. I loved the ending. Challenging certainty right up to the last lines! ✨
Agreed. We keep unpacking little bits of it. It was such a thought provoking movie.

I love synchronicities, it shows your intuition is working. Here’s to uncertainty!
Well I can cheers to that!! Thank you for reading and celebrating the unknown! 🥂 ← pretend that’s tea
Ooohhh, uncertainty never sounded so good. I am *certain* we could all use a healthy dose of openness right now 😉.
🌹!!! Your comment reads like a hug. Thank you so much for leaning into the club for open minds and hearts.
Wow!!! This. Was. Captivating!
I. See. What. You. Did. There. Tuche’! <3
Revealing love letter 💕📚💕
