The Power Of Saying No (Even To Good Things)

How do you choose when every option feels risky and uncertain?

You will discover how to break through the fear and move forward in the latest ChangeTalks podcast episode I was delighted to be a guest on. We discussed:

✅ The Regret Minimization and Fear Setting frameworks to help you decide when both options feel scary.

✅ How limiting beliefs (aka head hurricanes) are keeping you stuck — and how to break free.

✅ Why 95% of leaders think they’re self-aware, but only 10% actually are — and how not to live in a bubble.

✅ The hidden costs of conflict avoidance and how to give (and receive) honest feedback, even when people are scared to be honest.

In this episode, I share my own story of burnout, fear, and reinvention — walking away from the corporate world to build a career that actually fuels me.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is your roadmap.
