Episode 56 - Questioning Certainty

Certainty? Is this really a good topic for a podcast??? Are you SURE??? If the pandemic has taught us one thing, it might just be that many of the things that we were certain of, whether they are norms, ways of being, societal structures, or ideas, might not stand up to real scrutiny when challenged. Both of us used to be very confident of many things in our own lives, right up until the moment we weren’t. Sometimes this can really open us up to new questions and new ways of being, and other times this can completely undercut and reorient the things that we thought to be true. 

Together we think through our own journey with the concept of certainty. Did you know us when we were young, bold, and full of confidence in all the things?  If so, we’re so sorry you had to experience that! Certainty is rewarded in our society, but at what cost? And with what gain? What do we lose when we just admit “I don’t know!”?  These days we’re embracing a lack of certainty, or at least coming to it with a bit more suspicion.  

What are you certain of? And what do you gain from that position? We find that there are subjects we allow ourselves to take a certain stance on because they allow us to see the world, and the people within that world, in ways that are complementary to how we want to be in the world.  What allowances of certainty do we give ourselves? Take a listen and find out!
