Trust as a Building Block for Stability in Uncertain Times

Trust is an essential building block for stability and peace.

Uncertainty is the word of the day these days. I believe it is primarily because there is a lack of trust in people, ourselves, and in our systems.

It is wise to know what you can control and find peace and stability in those things. If you can have more trust in yourself and the systems you control, you may feel more certain and begin and feel and live life in peace.

Uncertainty: What Mom Entrepreneurs Know About Stability That Can Help You Right Now

Tariffs, stock market rollercoasters, and layoffs; Oh MY!

The last few months in particular have felt like living inside a blender that someone forgot to turn off. And there's one word that keeps popping up to describe all of it. Can you guess?

If you said “uncertainty,” congratulations — you win a gold star!

Now, can I be honest? As a business owner and a divorced mom, things have always felt a little uncertain.

All of this got me thinking: If uncertainty is basically a permanent guest in my life, what actually gives me peace? What’s making this current season feel especially hard for people who aren’t used to living in unpredictability? In my opinion, it starts with trust and belief.

Let's Talk About Your ENERGY - Part 2

What's Your Energy?

Throughout the day, I encourage you to check in with yourself. What are you feeling? How are you responding?

If you feel guilty, overwhelmed, worried, or angry about something, be aware that your energy is catabolic and may be impacting the way you are experiencing the current situation and the people around you. You may be getting upset over something or having difficulty dealing with something that is ordinarily, not a big deal for you.

What do you know about coaching?

As a young engineer, I never heard of coaching. We did not learn about it in school nor was it discussed in the leadership program I was in at work.

I first learned of coaching from a good friend and mentor. She had a company provided coach and shared her coach experience with me. (She was seen as a high potential leader in the company.) She shared how her coach helped her with time and relationship management and helped her see her blindspots. "WHAT?!?!?! You can hire someone to do that?" Is what I thought.
