In this solo episode I'm sharing three ideas that I keep coming back to: breaking old identities, taking courageous action, and choosing certainty over logic. I also share some of my favorite stories about divine timing, including how getting lost in Orlando after missing a person I drove hours to see ended up changing the entire direction of my life, how missing a train by two minutes may have saved me from a derailment, and what happened the night I paid for a stranger's first date after losing my dad. This one is about what it looks like to stop scanning for what's wrong and start trusting that you are always exactly where you are supposed to be. • Join Cathy's Circle https://www.cathyheller.com/cathys-circle/ • Follow Cathy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cathy.heller/ • Want to work with Cathy? https://www.cathyheller.com/start-here/

You were not mentally rehearsing 17 disasters before breakfast. You were present. And I think so many of us have been taught the way to stay safe and for things to go well is for us to stay in control. If we think enough, or plan enough, or overanalyze enough, maybe we can outsmart uncertainty, but that is such an exhausting way to live. Because the truth is, some of the most extraordinary things in my life happen the second I stop gripping so hard and just trust and just be connected to God more than my fear.
