# YQM EP263: You Can Make Peace with Uncertainty## DescriptionIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore how to find calm in the middle of uncertainty. When the future feels unclear and the path ahead is blurry, it is easy to feel anxious, restless, or even afraid. But uncertainty is not your enemy. It is not proof that something is wrong — it simply means the story is still being written.Through gentle reflection and a soothing breathwork practice, you will be invited to release the need to control every outcome, trust that you have always navigated the unknown before, and allow yourself to exist peacefully in this present moment — exactly as you are.## Affirmations- I make peace with not knowing what comes next.- Uncertainty is a passage, not a dead end.- I trust myself to handle whatever arises.- I do not need to see the whole staircase to take the first step.- I am still here, and that is enough.## Timestamps- 00:00 — Opening- 00:30 — Settling In: The nature of uncertainty- 04:07 — The Theme: Making peace with not knowing- 06:28 — Breathwork Practice- 08:03 — Closing## Hashtags#YourQuietMoment #SelfCompassion #Uncertainty #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #GentleGuidance #Breathwork #Calm #PersonalGrowth #WellnessDISCLAIMER

President Donald Trump issues a new threat if two Senate Republicans don't confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Several new Minnesota laws about domestic violence are taking effect soon. The bills were passed with bipartisan support during the most recent legislative session. One gives police more time to arrest someone suspected of domestic violence without a warrant. Another clarifies the process for how offenders surrender their guns.Temporary Protected Status for people from Haiti ended this week, leaving hundreds of thousands of Haitians across the country facing uncertainty — including some in Minnesota. Immigration attorneys and business groups say the end of the program could also create challenges for employers that rely on TPS holders in industries like long-term care, construction and restaurants.More allegations emerged Thursday of bizarre behavior by St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her. A former deputy police chief told investigators from an outside law firm that the mayor approached her in a locker room and asked if her own breasts were too big before complimenting the officer's breasts. A source with knowledge of the investigation tells MPR News that Her also allegedly made "orgasmic noises" while working out in the police gym.GOP U.S. Senate candidate Royce White's bid to undo an order for protection against him is outlined in a new legal filing. That order, granted by a district court judge, requires White to steer clear of his teen son for two years and his former partner for 50 years. Some GOP leaders urged him to drop out of the Senate race after judicial findings earlier this year that White engaged in bouts of aggression and other verbal threats.Minneapolis has approved the appointment of its next fire chief. Reginald Freeman will join the department after serving as fire chief in Hartford, Connecticut, Oakland, California and some jobs overseas.New Minnesota laws tackle domestic violence response and preventionAs Haiti TPS protections end, Minnesota immigrants and employers wonder what comes nextFormer St. Paul police official alleges Mayor Kaohly Her made inappropriate commentsMinneapolis City Council approves Reginald Freeman as new fire chief

Uncertainty is the defining emotion of our 20s. Career paths, relationships, identity, purpose ... so much of this decade is marked by not knowing. Does that have to be as uncomfortable as we think it does? In today’s episode, we unpack the psychology of uncertainty: why our brains fear it, how it triggers anxiety and avoidance, and why trying to “figure it all out” might be doing more harm than good. We explore: The neuroscience behind our discomfort with the unknown Why perfectionism is often a mask for our fear of uncertainty The cultural myths that make us believe we need a step-by-step life plan How to assign meaning to uncertainty and build resilience through it Practical strategies to take action even when the future feels unclear If you've never felt more confused than you do now, and are unsure 'what's next', this episode is for you.

How to Survive a Shock PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTGreat leaders replace uncertainty with courage, faith, and hope.Drawing on lessons from the Campbell Trophy Summit, former Intuit CEO Brad Smith argued that leadership is about helping people navigate uncertainty by choosing courage over comfort, faith over cynicism, and hope over resignation. Purpose fuels courage, leaders build confidence by believing in others before they believe in themselves, and every person's work should connect to a larger mission.Consistency beats intensity over the long run.Athletic Brewing CEO Bill Shufelt shared how he realized he was “climbing a ladder leaning against the wrong wall.” After prioritizing his health and family, he built an $800 million company without returning to burnout. His key lesson: “Consistency outruns intensity over any long horizon.” Sustainable effort produces greater success than relentless hustle.Small changes, amplified by AI, can create extraordinary results.Nuclear engineer Dr. Tom Burns described how AI agents, trained to emulate his team's best engineer, identified a seemingly insignificant design change—a 0.1-inch modification to a centrifugal contactor—that doubled processing efficiency, accelerated a five-year project to less than a year, and saved taxpayers an estimated $5 billion. The lesson: identify the single metric that matters most and use AI as a collaborative partner to pursue transformational, not incremental, improvements.Elite performers share common principles.Across years of Campbell Trophy Summit speakers, recurring themes emerged: embrace difficult challenges (William McRaven), work to become “twice as good” and view struggle as a privilege (Condoleezza Rice), pair big dreams with disciplined execution (Steve Young), take action (”Let's go”—Ronnie Lott), be fully present for others, prioritize purpose over popularity, and lose yourself in service. Curiosity, humility, and grit consistently define high performers.Approach peptides with scientific caution, not hype.The podcast concludes with a review of the FDA advisory committee's recommendation regarding compounded BPC-157. While the committee recommended allowing compounding under specific circumstances, the evidence for safety and effectiveness remains limited. Dr. Mishra concludes that, for routine wellness or minor injuries, the current evidence does not justify widespread use. Until stronger human data exist, peptides should be reserved, if considered at all, for carefully selected patients who understand the uncertainties and risks.Copyright, VyVerse LLC.

The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners have put a moratorium on new data center applications through 2027. In the meantime, the county lawmakers are developing new regulations. However, Commissioner Ted Terry expressed his skepticism about the benefits of the quickly wide spreading technology hubs. Joining today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, Terry said he wants a long-term impact study before he decides whether more data centers are right for DeKalb County. Also on today’s Closer Look, the Trump Administration has reportedly withheld $65 million from law offices across the country that represent unaccompanied minors. Without the federal government honoring its contract to fund the program, it’s due to expire July 31. Without a lawyer, children reportedly have a less than 10% chance of staying in the U.S. and immigration judges are nearly 100 times less likely to grant relief to a child. To tell us what’s at risk for the children, we’re joined by Jennifer Podkul, the Chief of Global Policy and Advocacy for Kids in Need of Defense. Also, part of the conversation is Jennifer Anzardo Valdes, the Director of Children's Legal Services at the International Rescue Committee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gregory Copley turns to the UK, where following the rise of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the country faces political uncertainty as Labour struggles with a lack of growth. Copley highlights King Charles III's vital role as a unifying force, focusing on British national identity and values. While the Burnham government is viewed as sclerotic and ideological, the King remains an egalitarian figure. His efforts to preserve heritage, like Dumfries House, bolster his standing. (12)1903

Jennifer takes you through a season of conversations with philosophers, teachers, and artists through the lens of a central koan: do we save or savour a world in a state of collapse? She revisits three core movements: The importance of feeling, especially the emotions and sensations we want to avoidLetting go and softening our attachments to identity, being right, or particular outcomesThe idea that there are no guarantees in this life, no matter how earnest or enlightened we areBringing you into a current challenge of hers, Jennifer illuminates how the tension between saving and savouring is working her, as she embraces new questions on how to dance with uncertainty in a heart-breaking, surprising world. Gratitude for this show's theme song Inside the House, composed by the talented Yukon musician, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist Jordy Walker.

Music Video for Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? https://youtu.be/o5TmORitlKk?si=tp-xjNHA4yQ0CYpOWhat happens when we ask a question—not because we expect an answer, but because we need someone to remain with us inside the uncertainty?In this episode of The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores Marvin Gaye's landmark recording, What's Going On, and the psychological power of a song that responds to violence, war, injustice, and collective grief without becoming hardened by them.Born from an act of violence witnessed during the People's Park demonstrations and shaped by the experiences of returning Vietnam veterans, the song challenged both Marvin Gaye's artistic identity and the limits Motown placed upon its artists.Rather than accusing, commanding, or offering easy answers, What's Going On asks us to stay present with suffering long enough to feel it.Gunter examines how the song creates recognition, belonging, empathy, and reconciliation; how it reflects the moral distress carried by returning soldiers; and why its tenderness has allowed it to remain meaningful for more than fifty years.Sometimes the most honest response to pain is not an answer. Sometimes it is a question held open in the company of others.In this episodeThe story behind Marvin Gaye's What's Going OnHow violence at People's Park helped inspire the songMarvin Gaye's struggle to move beyond romantic popHis brother Frankie's return from the Vietnam WarBarry Gordy's resistance to releasing the recordHow overlapping vocals created an internal conversationThe psychological concept of moral injuryRecognition, belonging, reconciliation, and empathyWhy the song chooses grief rather than rageThe power of remaining present without rushing toward answersWhy some questions endure longer than accusationsKey takeawaysA question can create connection.Unlike a statement, a question requires another person. It turns distress into relationship and invites the listener to feel alongside the speaker.Grief and rage are not interchangeable.Anger may restore agency, but sorrow can sometimes reveal the deeper truth of an experience.Uncertainty can be emotionally productive.The song refuses to resolve its central question, asking listeners to tolerate doubt instead of reaching too quickly for certainty.Tenderness is not weakness.Marvin Gaye confronts catastrophe without becoming contemptuous, allowing the song to remain open, humane, and widely accessible.People often feel pain before they can explain it.A song that remains at the level of the question can meet listeners in the wordless space before understanding arrives.“We return to the song not for answers, but for company.”— Gunter SwobodaGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Jackson for bringing Mississippi to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list and for the first time ever making it to our Top 20 Global Listener's list and securing their position, we celebrate our listeners in Hanoi and Ho Chi Mihn City for bringing Vietnam up to #11 as well as to our listeners in Lora del Rio for bringing Spain to #17!  Lastly a special congrats to Spain for their World Cup Win!

Welcome to the Summer Leadership Reset on Partnering Leadership.We have more access to ideas than ever before.More books. More podcasts. More articles. More insights.The challenge isn't finding more information. It's spending enough time with the ideas that can change how we think, decide, and lead.I have seen this in my own life. The books and conversations that have influenced me most aren't the ones I rushed through and moved on from. They are the ones I returned to, wrestled with, and understood differently as my own experiences changed.After more than 450 Partnering Leadership conversations with CEOs, researchers, authors, and leadership thinkers, there are a few I continue coming back to because the ideas become more valuable the more we sit with them.Throughout July and August, I'll be sharing 10 of those conversations.They explore some of the questions I see leaders wrestling with most: adapting to change, building trust, making better decisions, rethinking work, using AI wisely, and creating organizations ready for what comes next.Whether you are listening for the first time or revisiting these conversations, I hope they help you find an insight you can apply and a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends.—MahanConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

What if the biggest thing holding you back is not failure, but uncertainty? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I explore what I call the Tax of Corporate Uncertainty, the hidden emotional and mental cost we all pay when we delay decisions, avoid difficult conversations, or wait for the "perfect" moment to act. Whether it is in our careers, relationships, finances, or personal growth, uncertainty has a way of draining our confidence, energy, and momentum long before anything has actually gone wrong. Together, we'll look at why our minds often prefer familiar discomfort over uncertain opportunity, how fear of making the wrong decision can quietly keep us stuck, and why clarity rarely arrives before action. I'll also share practical ways to recognize when you're paying this invisible tax and how taking even small, imperfect steps can help you reclaim control and build resilience. If you've ever found yourself overthinking, procrastinating, or waiting for certainty that never seems to come, this conversation is a reminder that progress is often found on the other side of discomfort. What tax has uncertainty been charging you lately, and what is one decision you could make today to start moving forward? I'd love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation.  

In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Mike has a conversation with Simone Stolzoff, an author and journalist whose work explores uncertainty, ambition, and our relationship with work. Simone is the author of How to Not Know and The Good Enough Job. His latest book examines why uncertainty feels so uncomfortable and how developing a healthier relationship with not knowing can create opportunities for learning, growth, and possibility.Simone discusses why our tolerance for uncertainty is declining (1:05), why uncertainty itself is not necessarily the problem (4:42), and why even experts are often poor at predicting the future (7:29). He also explains how applicants can avoid becoming overly attached to one particular school, job, or future by focusing on what they can control, preparing for multiple outcomes, and finding healthy ways to cope with waiting.Additional topics include the three “certainty traps” of comfort, hubris, and control (10:22), how expertise can make people more vulnerable to overconfidence (14:47), practical ways to build uncertainty tolerance and trust your future self (16:36), why uncertainty can give life meaning and possibility (20:01), how rejection from a dream school or job may ultimately open unexpected doors (27:08), career changes and “unanswered prayers” (29:51), and why your job can be an important part of your life without becoming your entire identity (33:02).

Keith Klain has spent 25+ years leading enterprise quality programs in financial services and is one of the testing industry's most respected voices. In this episode, he joins Joe to discuss his BrowserStack talk, "The Death of Test Engineering," why testing isn't dying—but outdated testing roles are—and how AI is reshaping the future of software quality. In this episode: Why "The Death of Test Engineering" isn't what you think The difference between checking and testing Will AI replace software testers? Why confidence engineering matters How to communicate testing in business terms Where automation adds real value Why agentic AI testing is overhyped Notable Quotes "If you look at AI as a competitor, you're screwed. If you look at it as just another tool... it's not a threat." "Uncertainty in testing is a feature, not a bug." "If an organization doesn't value testing, you're doing it wrong." "You can be incredibly confident about something and incredibly wrong." One Thing to Try This Week Ask yourself after every critical defect: "What would the business impact have been if this had gone live?" It's a simple way to shift conversations from test cases to business risk.

Since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case which overturned Roe v. Wade was decided, there's been an abortion access crisis, an assault on legal precedent for abortion protections, and an opportunity to create a stronger and even more inclusive plan to reproductive autonomy than Roe ever provided. Amy Myrick, Senior Council at the Center for Reproductive Rights, sits down to talk with us about legal trends in federal and state courts in the past four years. Currently, legal cases have been aimed towards medication abortion and telehealth (a lifeline after Dobbs). It is important to remember that legal attacks on abortion have broader implications, including for transgender health and rights (particularly for young people). Increasingly, anti-abortion actors have had to pivot to tactics that are often blatantly anti-democratic.

Brian Wenke, Executive Director of It Gets Better, shares how the organization is evolving its storytelling, digital engagement, grantmaking, and youth leadership strategies. It Gets Better began in 2010 as a social media response to a devastating crisis affecting LGBTQ+ young people. Sixteen years and more than 70,000 shared stories later, the organization now reaches beyond storytelling through grantmaking, leadership development, civic engagement, and partnerships involving young people ages 13 to 18. Brian explains why authentic nonprofit storytelling cannot be manufactured through a rigid formula. Highly polished content may appear professional, but it can also feel distant from the communities an organization hopes to reach. “Storytelling is just our superpower,” Brian says. “We're not all versed in how to use it accurately and effectively, but we all can do it.” For It Gets Better, that means allowing young people to help shape the stories, programs, platforms, and organizational strategies intended to serve them. Their perspectives also provide a valuable counterweight to traditional performance indicators. Views and reach may look impressive, but they do not prove that content reached or resonated with the intended audience. The conversation also examines the organization's growth into a funder supporting work in the United States and through affiliates operating in 19 countries. Brian challenges funding structures that require established nonprofits to alter proven programs simply to fit a grantmaker's priorities. “I think we need more funders out there that are willing to be as flexible as the nonprofits they fund have been.” Key Takeaways: * Use community voices to validate strategy, not merely to endorse decisions already made.* Evaluate whether communications reach the intended audience, rather than relying only on views and impressions.* Balance digital outreach with offline community participation and relationship building.* Protect proven programs from funding requirements that create unnecessary mission drift.* Give executive leaders space to maintain a multiyear organizational perspective.* Treat hope, consistency, and adaptability as operating disciplines rather than abstract values. 00:00:00 Leadership, Storytelling, and It Gets Better00:01:40 How a Global Storytelling Movement Began00:05:11 Choosing the Right Digital Platforms00:06:55 Why Polished Nonprofit Stories Can Feel Inauthentic00:09:00 Giving Young People a Voice in Strategy00:13:07 Leading a Fully Virtual Nonprofit00:14:13 Balancing Social Media with Real-World Action00:16:53 Looking Beyond Views, Reach, and Basic KPIs00:18:03 How It Gets Better Became a Grantmaker00:20:01 When Funding Requirements Create Mission Drift00:23:27 The Next Stage of Youth Leadership Development00:26:25 Maintaining Hope and a Long-Range Vision#NonprofitLeadership #TrustBasedPhilanthropy #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

There is comfort in certainty, but there is resilience in embracing the uncertain. Simone Stolzoff joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why striving for certainty cuts off creative thinking, why building tolerance for uncertainty helps prepares us for life's pitfalls, and why someone who claims to know it all might actually be dangerous. His book is “How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

We all love a good plan.   The calendar is full, the flights are booked, the strategy is mapped out, and everything feels like it's finally coming together. Then life reminds us of one unavoidable truth: the unexpected happens.   In this episode, I share a personal story about having to cancel an important business event after weeks of preparation because life and business demanded my attention somewhere else. It wasn't the decision I wanted to make, but it became a powerful reminder that leadership isn't about controlling every outcome. It's about responding well when circumstances change.   Over the years, I've helped business owners navigate some of the hardest moments they'll ever face, from the uncertainty of COVID to devastating fires, financial downturns, unexpected loss, and personal crises. One thing has become incredibly clear: businesses don't survive because leaders can predict every challenge. They survive because leaders build enough margin to respond when those challenges arrive.   In this episode, I'm sharing the five-step framework I use with my clients whenever the unexpected happens. It's a practical way to move from panic to purposeful action, make better decisions under pressure, and keep leading with confidence even when you don't have every answer.   Because change is inevitable. Your response is what defines your leadership.   Key Takeaways: • Change Is Not the Enemy - No amount of planning can eliminate uncertainty. Great leaders accept that change is part of building a business and learn how to adapt instead of resist it.   • Margin Creates Resilience - Financial reserves, extra time, strong systems, trusted relationships, and emotional capacity all create the flexibility leaders need when plans suddenly change.   • Your Team Takes Their Cue from You - You don't have to pretend everything is perfect. But your team needs to know someone is calmly leading through the uncertainty.   • Clarity Comes Through Action - Waiting until you have every answer often keeps you stuck. Forward movement creates clarity, confidence, and momentum.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00  When the Best-Laid Plans Fall Apart 00:58  The Business Event I Had to Walk Away From 02:23  When Life Forces You to Change Course 04:44  Unexpected Doesn't Mean You Failed 06:10  Why Every Business Needs Margin 09:22  What Crisis Has Taught Me as an Advisor 10:13  Leading Clients Through COVID and Uncertainty 13:08  Lessons from a Business Owner's Worst Day 15:38  The Mindset That Comes Before Every Solution 18:34  Step 1: Pause and Assess the Situation 19:40  Step 2: Evaluate Your Options 20:31  Step 3: Identify the Resources Around You 21:29  Step 4: Create Your Next Steps 22:43  Step 5: Take Action and Build Momentum 24:03  Why Every Leader Needs Trusted Advisors 25:28  One Question Every Business Owner Should Answer 26:20  Building a Business That Can Weather Any Storm   If today's conversation resonated with you, don't wait until the next crisis to prepare your business.   Ask yourself:   Where does my business need more margin?   Is it financial? Operational? Leadership? Time? Systems? Or simply having someone in your corner who can help you think clearly when things don't go according to plan?   Building resilience before you need it is one of the greatest investments you can make as a leader.

How can leaders move forward when pressure is high and the way is not clear?  Blind adventurer Hiro Iwamoto and his 'seeing eye Doug" guide Doug Smith sailed across the Pacific in 55 days, from San Diego to Fukushima. The two share key strategies for leaders in taking action despite uncertainty and what's needed to pick the right partners to make impossible projects a reality. Hiro also shares how he stays calm in moments of extreme adversity, like when whale sank his boat during an earlier attempt leaving him in a life raft for 11 hours amid five-metre waves. Key takeaways: Courage means moving forward without waiting for 100% information. Find people who can solve problems, not just point them out How thinking in the present can prevent panic and enable decision-making Hiro is an adventurer, keynote speaker and the first totally blind person to sail across the Pacific. Doug had no previous sailing experience but became Hiro's crewmate and navigator for that extraordinary trip. Their lessons on crisis leadership, teamwork, overcoming fear and innovation can motivate any leader during difficult moments.

Jazz Chisholm's latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.
