83: Life Is Uncertain, But You’ve Got You

Sometimes life hits you with the kind of chaos you can’t plan for — canceled flights, glitchy systems, impossible deadlines. In this episode, I share two moments that tested my calm and my perseverance: the unexpected delay that turned my trip into a full week away from my son, and the near-denial of a program I depend on because of one tiny missed box on an online form.

Both moments had the potential to spiral me — to send me into panic, frustration, or self-blame. But something shifted. Instead of falling apart, I rode through the storm like a buffalo — the animal that runs toward the storm, not away from it. Because that’s how you move through uncertainty faster. You face it head-on.

This episode is a reminder that you are the hero in your own story. The underdog who doesn’t give up. The one who gets resourceful when things fall apart. The one who anchors into calm when life feels chaotic.

You can’t control the storms. But you can always control how you move through them. And when life gets messy, remember: you’ve got you.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The near-disaster with my program renewal and how I stayed grounded through the mess
  • The story of my canceled flight after a plane crash in San Diego
  • How to delay your emotional reaction when you need to stay in problem-solving mode
  • Why being calm doesn’t mean being numb
  • The “buffalo mindset” for riding through life’s storms
  • What it really means to be your own best hero

For anyone who’s ever felt thrown off by life’s curveballs — this one’s for you.
