Adjusting Your Lens: The Power of Curiosity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the most powerful thing you could do when fear shows up… is just get curious?
In this episode, we're trading "what if it goes wrong" for "I wonder what this will teach me" — and exploring why that shift is so much harder than it sounds. Curiosity isn't toxic positivity. It's a deliberate, nervous-system-level practice that can change the way you move through fear, relationships, creative work, and healing.
We're getting into:
- Why fear closes us down and curiosity opens us up — and what that actually looks like in your daily life
- How shame — especially around sexuality and desire — shuts curiosity down at the root
- The body-based difference between anxiety and curiosity (polyvagal theory, but make it relatable)
- How to shift from what if to I wonder in real time
- The connection between curiosity and self-compassion — including insights from Dr. Thema Bryant's Homecoming
- What it means to get curious about yourself after religious trauma or spiritual deconstruction
This one is going to feel like your journal entry come to life, bestie. Settle in.
Adjusting is a podcast for creatives, everyday people, and those healing from trauma and relationships who are learning to live with less fear and more freedom.
