Welcome to the very first episode of Uncertainty is Possibility.

This one is just me — there are no guests and no agenda! Just me sharing why I wanted to start this podcast, what it's going to be, and who it's for. Come in, have a listen, and see if this is your kind of conversation.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Why I started this podcast, and why now
• My own story: from a stable and safe career path in Singapore TO moving to Melbourne not quite knowing what will come next
• What it actually felt like to leave a certain path, and what I found on the other side
• The thought experiment from my psychotherapy training that changed how I think about uncertainty entirely
• What this podcast is (and what it very much isn't)
• The two things I believe we all need to live the life we actually want: the capacity to hold necessary discomfort, and the self-trust to step into possibilities

THE ACTIVITY FROM THE EPISODE

This comes from a lecture when I was training to be a psychotherapist. Try it yourself:

(a) Think of something about yourself you feel truly certain about.

(b) Think of something you feel truly uncertain about.

Notice the felt experience of each. What is the same? What is different?

Now flip it: What would it feel like to become uncertain of (a)? What would it feel like to become certain of (b)?

Sit with that. Something usually shifts.

THIS PODCAST IS FOR YOU IF

You live for something greater than yourself — your relationships, your communities, the work you feel called to do.

You've been on the straight path and you're sensing a quiet wondering about what else might be there.

You're wanting to step off the path you're on, but finding it hard to do so.

Or you've already stepped off, and you would love to have some company on this journey.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
