In this episode of Reframe This, Matt and Corinna explore how often we rush our lives to a verdict before the process is complete. Borrowing the framework of Law & Order, they remind us that verdicts don’t come first—investigation does. Yet in our own lives, we’re quick to declare, “I’m failing,” or “This isn’t working,” long before the evidence is in.

The reframe is simple but powerful: peace doesn’t come from outcomes—it comes from order.

Through personal stories, humor, and thoughtful insight, they unpack how order isn’t about control, but intentional structure. When we organize our lives around identity and action rather than results, we create space for peace—even while things are still unfinished.

Messy seasons aren’t meaningless. They’re often where the most important work is happening.

• Unfinished doesn’t mean failed—sometimes the investigation is still ongoing
• Peace grows from intentional action, not perfect outcomes
• Structure creates safety; control creates anxiety
• Lessons often come before blessings

• Ecclesiastes 3:1 – There is a time for everything and a season for every activity
• Proverbs 24:3–4 – Wisdom and understanding come before fullness
• Proverbs 16:9 – We plan our course, but our steps are established over time

If you’re walking through a season that feels overwhelming and would benefit from extra support, working with a licensed therapist can help you navigate it with care and intention. You can find a therapist near you using Psychology Today’s Therapist Directory.
