Who We Become in Times of Uncertainty

When the world feels uncertain, it doesn’t just stay “out there” — we feel it within us too.

In this episode of Psychic Whispers, Mesina explores what moments of uncertainty bring up in us as individuals and how those same responses begin to shape us collectively. From quiet unease to deeper reflection, this is an honest, human conversation about how we navigate what we take in — and how we look choose to meet it.

This isn’t about ignoring what’s happening, or becoming detached. It’s about staying aware without becoming overwhelmed. Understanding that alongside fear and division, there is also connection, care and moments of unity that are just as real.

A gentle reminder that while we don’t always control what’s unfolding around us, we do have a choice in how we respond — and who we become within it.

Hello, and welcome to the Psychic Whispers Podcast. Hello, lovely soul, and welcome back to Psychic Whispers. Not too long ago, my very first episode landed for this podcast, and I talked about how to stay aligned in a heavy world. And it was so relevant the timing that that episode landed. And there was so much going on in the news at the time, just weeks ago, as there has been weeks since. And as I came today to do this podcast episode, I scrapped on my plans because there we were again, the news. And there's just so much heaviness that I noticed straight away today, as we all have. And I thought, I've got to do another episode about who we become in these moments when there's so much of this being thrust in our face all the time. How does it land for us individually and as a collective? Because I'm not going to lie, I think we've all been feeling it. Not necessarily thinking about it all the time, but we definitely feel it in the background. There's this slight tension, a restlessness, you know, a sense of something just being really unsettled. And it doesn't always come in loud and proud, but sometimes it's just there, you know, just discreetly running underneath your day, like background noise. I think we find ourselves checking our phone more than usual or reading things that we didn't plan to read, you know, going a little bit deeper into something, down a rabbit hole. And then we sit there thinking, oh, why do I feel like this now? Even just trying to carry on as normal, but something just feels slightly off. You know, we can't put our finger on it. That's where I landed today. I just felt like something was off. And it's important to say this right off. You are not wrong for feeling that. There's nothing wrong with you. You're human. And like I said in that very first episode, we're not meant to carry this much weight on our shoulders. Now we have access to the world, right? In so many forms. Not just one, not just a newspaper, not just a word on the street. It comes from so many places now. It's inescapable. And as humans, we respond to what feels uncertain, even when it's not happening directly in our lives. Like I said, I noticed this in myself too. There's moments when I can feel my energy shifting just from what I'm taking in. And it just feels so heavy. And it's a good time for me. That's the moment I stop and check in. And I would encourage you to do the same. But, you know, today's episode isn't just about, oh, look, I've noticed it. Here it is, really heavy. Well. No, I want to talk about something I've noticed over time in the work that I do. And that is how we respond collectively in moments like this. I mean, we hear a lot about the division that these issues cause, a lot more about people being even more reactive, more disconnected. And yes, that exists. You know, we see it, we feel it. There's so much out there that doesn't align with our truth or our opinion. And we suddenly feel like the world and our societies becomes super fractured in these moments, and we realize how fragile that is. But that is not the whole picture. Because at the same time, I also see people coming together, checking in on each other, having conversations they wouldn't normally have, and even being just a little more present with one another, even just in small ways. And it's not as loud as all of that division that we notice, but it's there. And I think what happens in moments like this is that we start looking outward for meaning. We look at the world and we begin to see reflections of what we're already feeling. If we feel overwhelmed, we're gonna see more overwhelm. If we feel grounded, we notice more connection. Now, I'm not saying the world is it's what you make it, and that I live in some airy fairyland because I'm a real person. There's real news headlines happening. And we can say airy fairyland all you want, but that stuff is real, or at least in our face real, at least in the news reel. It's there for our consumption. But once your mind has decided what's going on, it becomes really good at proving itself right. And it is so easy to land in that space of thinking that the world has just gone mad. But the truth is the world is showing us everything at once the fear, the reactions, the division, and the connection, the care, and the moments of unity. And this is where it becomes less about the world and more about us because we're not just watching it, but we're responding to it. Some people respond straight into fear. Some people go right into frustration. Others, you know, they try to make sense of everything. And some people just switch off completely. And if we're really honest, most of us move between all of those things at different points. We kind of switch between some of it or all of it at one time or another. You know, we're not just reacting to what's happening now. We're reacting from what we already carry as well as what we're seeing, you know, our past experiences, our previous fears, or our beliefs. And when I notice myself kind of getting pulled into that, this is what I tend to come back to. It's it's nothing complicated, just small, real things. You know, I pause. I notice how I actually feel, not what I think I should feel, but what's really there. And sometimes it's just tension. Sometimes it's just, you know, a bit of uneasiness. Or I just sometimes it's just too much input. My brain can go on overload, information overload pretty quickly sometimes. And I notice that often it's just that. And instead of just going deeper into it, you know, I kind of pull myself back out slightly if I feel that. Uh, I put my phone down and I go and do something normal. Make a drink, sit with my dogs, my wife, talk to somebody. Something that shifts me back into my real life, my actual life here, and not just what's going on in this world reflected around me. And that's not so I can ignore the world. I, like I've said before, I really care. I care about what's going on. I care about all these issues. I care a lot, which is why I need a moment to come back to myself. Because it's really easy to get pulled into something that feels so huge and forget where you actually are. And this is where that balance that I spoke about before in my previous episode comes in in episode one. You know, you can care, you can stay aware and alert, but you don't have to carry all of it. You don't have to absorb every perspective and you don't have to lose yourself in it. But that was episode one. And this part is the part that I think is what really matters. Because moments like this don't just pass through us, they shape us individually, they show us who we are under pressure. Do we spiral, shut down? Do we try and control everything? Or do we come back to ourselves? And none of these are right or wrong. They're just very revealing. They teach you about you. They give you something to work with. And collectively, it's the same thing. Because the world isn't just out there, it's made up of all of us. So when we talk about division or unity or fear or connection, what we're really talking about is how people are choosing to respond moment by moment. And that means something quite grounding because it reminds you that you are a part of that. The way you respond, the way you hold yourself, and the way you show up with others, that contributes to the bigger picture. You know, not in a heavy way, just a real human way. And don't go thinking that your part doesn't contribute to the loud noise out there. Like, well, what does the world care about my response? I'm just one person. But you're getting all that response back. You're part of someone else's noise in a way, when you think about it. So let that noise be a beacon, a calling card, a thing that says, over here, this is what I think. So someone can decide that that's what they feel too. There's so many more people out there that think like we do than we believe there are. And the more we stand in our own truth and we begin to respond in a different way, the more we can find and meet the people, align with the things that align with us. And that way, instead of looking at the world and thinking, oh, everything just feels so chaotic, you can also come back to who am I choosing to be in the middle of this? You know, you don't have to lose yourself to stay aware. You can stay grounded, you can be present, you can even still be connected, and you can still care. In fact, it's important that you do care. Change doesn't happen because we didn't give a crap. Change happens because we cared about the change. And as our world is ever changing, there's always something out there happening. Always. I would love for us to be reminded that we are not just a fractured society when these things come to show us the cracks, but that we are also united and connected, that there are people who think like we do, that you do have aligned souls out there who are on your page, who are on your wavelength. I don't know about you, but I'm sure that there's some body of energy out there, some one at work, some collective of people that would love for you to focus on the division and focus on you feeling isolated and alone in this. But the truth is, that's not true. And I don't care how many statistics they throw at you, I don't care how many things they say, this is how it is. You get to see the world in which it is. You can see the truth of the unity as much as you can see the division. Because, like I said, the world is always showing it all to us at the same time. But be careful about what you choose to believe, and just remember who you are under these circumstances when these things come to light, who you choose to be. It matters a lot. And with that, we can find our people, we can align with each other, and we can continue to invite change in the world. Next time one of those social media posts gets you revving, gets you thinking, Oh, that does not feel good. I would love for you to look at the comments. And sometimes I find beautiful little gems in there where people are like, What is this? What are you talking about? This is not okay. And you begin to go, yeah, thankfully, there's other people out there taking the time to make those comments that are on my page too. They're there and you'll choose to see them. Now, before you go, if you enjoyed these conversations, then you can find more of my work at psychic-whispers.com.
