82. Dr Toni Lindsay - The Certainty Myth

My guest today is Dr Toni Lindsay. Toni is a clinical psychologist who works primarily with people who are at the end of their life or have a severe illness (usually young people!). In her own words: “My work has shaped how I think about all this FIRE stuff!”. Toni is also the author of multiple books but the one which probably has the most application with FIRE would be “The Certainty Myth: How to be resilient when the world keeps changing”. Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode are: What does Toni actually do in the field of clinical psychology? (00:04:02) What motivated Toni to write “The Certainty Myth”? (00:15:54) How Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help with the journey to FI (20:19:00) The relationship between uncertainty and anxiety and how we can better manage this (00:55:54) Cognitive flexibility - how flexibility can be an antidote to uncertainty (01:01:43) How FIRE plays a role in resiliency (01:10:54) How Toni’s experience with mortality has shaped her FIRE journey (01:21:50) Links Website - Book - The Certainty Myth Book - The Resilience Project by Hugh van Cuylenburg
