One struggle I have is how to simultaneously embrace uncertainty and take responsibility for the impact of my actions. A high amount of uncertainty makes me feel like I’m a chef taking chicken thighs out of a warm fridge.

I think there is a time to just say “no” — even if we fear that others will accuse us of overthinking.
