ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Have you ever felt panicked and untethered when you’re lost—at work, in a relationship, or even in your own mind? In this episode, Dr. Diana Hill explores how “lostness” can send us into panic, false refuges, and strange loops that make things worse, and how it can also open a doorway to transformation. Drawing from her own story about thinking she’d left her computer at a New York hotel, Diana shares practices to help you stay where you are, take in a bigger perspective, and ask more beautiful questions in meditation and life.
Listen and learn:- How strange loops keep us tangled in unhelpful patterns
- The inner dimensions we can get lost in: self, attention, thoughts, purpose, feelings, and behavior
- What to do when you’re lost: pause, broaden your view, and ask beautiful questions ("What is here?", "What else?", "What do I really want?")
If this episode helps you find steadier ground, share it with someone who feels scattered or stuck.
