A Daily Prayer - Staying Grounded in Uncertain Times
In this episode, I'm addressing the elephant in the room: the uncertainty many of us feel about the massive changes happening in our world right now. This isn't about scaring anyone (promise!), but about finding ways to stay anchored when everything feels like it's shifting. From conversations with my teenage son about which careers might still exist in the future, to what I learned about staying grounded during my husband's recovery journey, I'm sharing my concept of a "daily prayer" - not in the religious sense, but as a grounding ritual that tethers us to what's real in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.
What You'll Learn (In My Usual Straight-Talking Way!):
- Why feeling untethered and a bit freaked out right now is completely normal
- How I developed my first "daily prayer" during my husband's recovery in 2017
- The surprising conversation my 15-year-old had about AI and future jobs
- Why our current uncertainty isn't something to fight against, but to navigate with intention
- My morning ritual that handles "80% of my mental health needs"
- How we're actually more prepared for this moment than we realize
- Why community conversations are crucial as we navigate these changes together
