Okay, let’s get existential. A listener wrote in to say that Google’s quantum computer, Willow, has them spiraling—and honestly, I get it. Quantum computers, parallel realities, and the whole what does it all mean?! vibe can make you feel like a tiny speck in the grand scheme of things. So, how do we deal with those “too much universe, not enough me” moments?


In this episode, we’re tackling existential dread head-on. I’ll share why these moments of crisis can actually be a good thing (yes, really), how to stay grounded when the world feels overwhelming, and what we can control when it feels like everything else is out of our hands.


Spoiler: The Plotline© journal is perfect for processing these big, mind-bending thoughts and reminding yourself that you are the main character—quantum computers be damned. Grab yours at doitfortheplotline.com or follow @theplotlinejournal for ideas on how to write your way out of the spiral.


Also, come find me on Instagram @meghan_mctavish—let’s bond over how weird and wonderful the universe is. Because existential crises aren’t so scary when you’ve got a friend to share them with.


Big questions, small steps. Let’s dive in.
