We spend a lot of time thinking about the past or worrying about the future. What gets lost in between?

For Dr. Evan Fishman, that question became more personal after he was laid off from Facebook in 2023. The experience forced him to rethink how much of his identity was tied to work, achievement, and what came next.

Today, Evan helps others navigate similar questions around identity, uncertainty, and being present. 

We cover:

• How Evan’s Facebook layoff changed the way he saw his life
  
• What we use to avoid uncomfortable feelings
• Why fear can create stories that feel true (even when they aren’t)
  
• How to become more comfortable with uncertainty
  
• Why the present moment matters during times of change
