In a culture obsessed with certainty, timelines, and guarantees, it’s easy to believe you’re doing something wrong if you feel unsure. In this episode, Penelope Bent speaks to the quiet tension so many builders carry — the fear that uncertainty means danger, missteps, or failure, rather than growth. She reframes uncertainty not as a problem to solve, but as a natural and necessary part of building a meaningful life and business.

Penelope explores why strength isn’t built by eliminating risk, but by learning how to move with it. From trusting your inner knowing to recognizing the role of support, courage, and lived experience, she offers grounded perspective on how real confidence is formed over time. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need certainty to begin — you need honesty, self-trust, and the willingness to keep building anyway.

Plus, a listener Q&A on whether opportunities are ever truly missed — and how to think about timing, regret, and forward momentum when you’re looking back.
