EP. 66 | When Life Feels Out of Your Control, Ask This
Some seasons of life just happen to you. The trip gets cancelled. The diagnosis lands. The person you love is suddenly gone - and none of it is fair, and none of it is yours to fix.
That feeling - like life is happening to you and you've got no say in it - is, to me, the worst feeling of all.
So this week I'm sharing one question I've reached for in my hardest, loneliest, most unfair moments. From my first year in America, crying in an empty apartment, through losing my sister - and through this past year, losing Mum. It's not "stay positive." It's not a silver lining. It's something far more useful, and every time I ask it, it hands me back my sense of agency.
I open with a quote from one of my greatest teachers, Dr Viktor Frankl, that completely changed my relationship with life - and then I walk you through exactly how I used this question to climb out of helplessness during one of the loneliest stretches I've lived through.
By the end you'll have a simple exercise to do on your own - so you're not just listening this week, you're participating.
Grab a pen or your notesapp. Let's get into it. 💛
Struggling to put this into practice in your own life?
Book a free mini coaching session with Kate. It's not a sales call — it's a real coaching session where Kate will walk you through how to actually apply this work to whatever you're stuck on right now. You'll leave with a clearer head, a practical next step, and the kind of insight most people don't get until they're a few sessions deep with a coach.
