At some point in life, almost all of us hit a moment where we quietly ask ourselves, “Now what?”

It might come after a big transition. Or when the path you worked so hard to build suddenly doesn’t feel like it fits anymore. Or when you’re doing “all the right things,” yet something still feels unsettled.

This in-between phase of life can feel disorienting, confusing, and overwhelming–especially when you don’t have the “five-year-plan” that everyone else seems to have.

That’s exactly why Tamsen invited Marie Forleo on the podcast. Marie is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything Is Figureoutable who has spent decades helping women build businesses and lifestyles without burnout and hustle culture. Marie teaches women how to get clear on what they want by slowing down, simplifying, and learning to trust yourself again.

In this episode, Marie shares how you can move through uncertainty with confidence and offers practical tools and mantras that have helped millions of women quiet the noise, reconnect with their intuition, and design a life that actually supports them.

In this episode, Tamsen and Marie discuss how you can:

  • Stop letting fear and scarcity drive your decisions
  • Break free from comparison
  • Tune out the noise and tune into your intuition
  • Simplify your life so you can amplify what matters most
  • Regulate your nervous system by slowing down
  • What to do when you don’t have a five-year plan (and why that’s okay)
  • Overcome imposter syndrome
  • Stay focused without burning out
  • Build a life rooted in freedom, clarity, purpose, and joy

By the end of this conversation, you’ll know how to move forward intentionally so that the next chapter supports your life instead of consuming it.
