If it feels like it is all falling apart, maybe it is.

But maybe - it has to so that a new way can emerge.

In this short episode, I dive into a core pillar of Figuring Sh!t Out:

Feeling like you don't have Sh!t figured out

(followed by a subsequent, sometimes immediate, existential crisis and break-down that makes you feel a little chaotic.)

I talk to you about the power of letting yourself feel, fall apart, and the clarity that can emerge from surrendering to the crash-out.

Consider this episode your guide and your companion when you need a little help through to the other side. Because sometimes --

The only way out is through.
