In this week’s episode we’re talking about why your willingness to hear “no” may be the key to getting more yeses — and living a fuller, braver life.
Lori shares a powerful story about Girl Scouts who earned a trip to Greece by selling nearly 6,000 boxes of cookies — and how every “yes” they earned required hearing countless “no’s” first. That lesson applies far beyond cookie sales.
Drawing on research around psychological flexibility, rejection sensitivity, and growth mindset, this episode breaks down why avoiding rejection shrinks our self-expression — and how learning to tolerate discomfort can unlock more confidence, creativity, and opportunity.
If you’ve ever thought “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” and then stopped yourself from trying, this episode is your invitation to stretch just a little further.
