How to Stay Grounded When Life Feels Chaotic

Life rarely unfolds in a straight line—and when things feel uncertain, it can rattle even the most grounded among us. In our August bonus episode, we open up about some of the personal upheaval we’ve experienced over the past few years: five homes, twelve Airbnbs, a layoff, countless decisions, and the exhausting process of trying to rebuild stability from scratch.

We explore the psychological toll of temporal uncertainty—those stretches of time when outcomes are unclear, timelines are indefinite, and everything feels up in the air. This kind of chronic unpredictability can cloud our decision-making and deplete our mental energy. But it’s not all bad news. With the help of behavioral science, we share how routines, environmental cues, micro-anchors, and reframing can help restore a sense of control.

Whether you’re facing a career shift, a breakup, or just feeling off-balance in a fast-changing world, this conversation offers practical insights—and a little hope—for finding your groove again.
