In this episode of Permission to Evolve, host Brandon Thielk, a performance and life coach, and his co-host Holly Deschenes, delve into the concept of 'the permission to not know.' They discuss the importance of embracing uncertainty, the growth that comes from stepping out of comfort zones, and the creative opportunities that arise when breaking free from patterns. The conversation touches on personal experiences of uncertainty, the balance between security and risk, and practical advice for managing periods of uncertainty. They emphasize the importance of reflection, the role of discomfort in personal development, and how aligning with purpose rather than fear can lead to a more fulfilling life.
