Is the fear of uncertainty keeping you stuck?
Feeling drained or unfulfilled isn’t a personal weakness. It’s a sign that you’re operating on outdated scripts, following paths that no longer serve you. But breaking free doesn’t require a massive leap… just a tiny experiment.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake welcomes Anne-Laure Le Cunff. She is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and writer and is the founder of Ness Labs. She explores evidence-based methods for people to make the most of their minds, navigate uncertainty, and practice lifelong learning. Her work has been featured in peer-reviewed academic journals and mainstream publications such as WIRED, Forbes, Rolling Stone, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and more.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to embrace uncertainty through times of transition. You’ll hear how “tiny experiments” can help you break free from cognitive scripts and build self-confidence. You’ll also learn how to schedule in time for curiosity and exploration so that you can start making small, incremental changes that will eventually help you achieve true personal and professional fulfillment.

Favorite Quotes:
"It's really about starting small and just trying to do something different, maybe something that goes against what advice you would get from friends or from your employer, and seeing that the world doesn't end." –Anne-Laure Le Cunff
"It's really about progressively building that self-confidence through cycles of experimentation, instead of trying to make the big change straight away." –Anne-Laure Le Cunff
“When I began to realize that [experimentation] was the only way to get what it is that I wanted, it really helped me learn to embrace that uncertainty and to recognize that uncertainty was actually the gift.” –Blake Schofield
"As long as you learn something new, that's success." –Anne-Laure Le Cunff
“The things that we're experiencing are actually signs and symptoms that our life is in misalignment. They are warning signs. But because we're surrounded by other people experiencing the same thing, our brain will pattern match and say, nothing's wrong with me." –Blake Schofield
