Why You Can't Be Prepared for Everything (Minis with Megan on So Much To Say: A Legal Podcast for People) (Copy)

Listen Now:

Even when a risk feels calculated, it’s still a risk. 

In this mini episode, Megan Senese shares a memorable story about skydiving on her 18th birthday, and how it became a lasting lesson about control, fear, and the moments in life when all you can do is jump.

Who this episode is for:

  • Anyone standing on the edge of a big decision

  • People trying to calculate every outcome before moving forward

  • Lawyers, professionals, and creatives facing uncertainty

  • Anyone who needs permission to act without guarantees


Episode takeaways:

  • Why even “well-planned” risks can spiral out of control

  • How trying to manage every variable can give a false sense of safety

  • What happens when circumstances force you to move forward anyway

  • Why action, not certainty, is often the turning point

  • A reminder that courage doesn’t always mean feeling calm


A different way to think about taking risks:

  • You can set all the criteria, and still lose control

  • Risk doesn’t disappear just because you planned for it

  • Fear doesn’t mean you’re doing the wrong thing

  • Sometimes there is no perfect moment or exit strategy
