Holding Two Truths – Finding Your Center in Uncertain Times

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, overwhelming, and emotionally charged, how do we stay rooted without bypassing what’s real?

In this episode, I explore what it truly means to hold two truths at the same time: acknowledging fear, grief, and instability while also choosing presence, agency, and inner steadiness. Drawing from my personal caregiving journey, recent moments of self-doubt, and a powerful realization sparked by therapy, I reflect on how easily our nervous systems get hijacked and how quickly my inner critic can drown out my wise voice.

This conversation is an invitation to come home to yourself. I share the simple, grounding practices I’ve returned to in order to rebuild a foundation that doesn’t collapse when fear shows up—one breath, one choice, one moment at a time.

What You’ll Learn

  • How an activated nervous system fuels comparison, perfectionism, and inner criticism
  • Why “fantasy thinking” can keep you stuck and disconnected from reality
  • How to recognize and disengage from the inner critic that assaults your wise voice
  • Practical, non-flashy tools to calm the nervous system (breath, movement, sensory awareness)
  • How journaling, gratitude, and naming what you can control restore a sense of agency
  • Why coming home to yourself is an act of peace, not avoidance
