Podcasts about saying yes

Most coaches spend their careers shaping athletes. Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin spend theirs learning from them — and what they've found might change how you coach.Rustin and Elise write NY Times feature, The Peak for The Athletic, a section devoted to the mental side of elite sports. In this episode with JP Nerbun, they unpack what a year of "I Tried" journalism has taught them: Kobe's silence practice, Michael Phelps' freestyle journaling, Buzz Williams writing four to five letters a day, an Olympian who approaches every failure with childlike curiosity, and a reminder from David Ortiz about what it actually means to bounce back. The thread running through all of it: curiosity.For coaches who want to understand what's going on inside their athletes — and maybe inside themselves — before it becomes a problem.Chapters(00:00) Intro: JP on The Athletic's Peak(02:39) Ted Lasso's Real-Life Inspiration(07:41) Elise: D1 Swimmer to Peak Journalist(11:48) The Performance Info Gap(13:01) How The Peak Section Was Born(16:18) What The Peak Is Not(19:20) I Tried: Living Athletes' Habits(21:31) Silence, Emotions, and Journaling(23:13) How Athletes Find Their Rituals(25:41) Curiosity: The #1 Athlete Trait(26:41) Buzz Williams Letter-Writing(28:38) Gratitude and Failure With Curiosity(30:53) The Power of Saying Yes(35:59) The Pat Riley Conditioning Test(36:31) 17s Story: Hardship as ConfidenceTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."That feeling of somebody saying yes to me is so powerful.

You know what you need to do, but something keeps stopping you from taking action.   In this episode, I share two client stories that reminded me how powerful it is when women finally trust their own inner knowing. One client described her experience as moving from black and white to Technicolor. Another came to coaching believing she couldn't lose weight and wasn't sure she could change her drinking habits.   What changed wasn't a diet plan. What changed was how they saw themselves.   You'll hear about self-worth, awareness, and learning to ask "What do I want?" created immediate shifts for these women and why saying yes to yourself may be the first step toward creating the results you've wanted for years.

Every yes you give has a cost. And for people pleasers that cost is almost always paid from the same account — their own time, energy, peace, and sense of self. In today's episode, Celeste makes the hidden math of people pleasing visible — and helps you see that every yes you say to someone else is simultaneously a no to something inside yourself. Today's shift: Look at your last three yeses — and identify what you said no to yourself in order to say yes to them.

There's a moment that happens every day that most people never really notice. Someone asks you something — a favor, a plan, a request — and before you've even checked in with yourself, you've already said yes. Not because it feels aligned. Not because you've chosen it. But because it's faster, easier, and keeps everything moving smoothly. And over time, these small moments start to add up in ways you don't immediately see. You can end up feeling tired, stretched, or slightly disconnected from yourself — without being able to point to one clear reason why. What's really happening isn't about overcommitment. It's about a pattern of not pausing long enough to include yourself in your own decisions. In this episode, we slow that moment down and bring awareness to what changes when you begin to stay with yourself before you respond. Cheers, Marie

In this episode of "The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith," guest Rhonda Stoppe reflects on the lessons she's learned from studying the mothers of the Bible. She challenges the myth that a mother's success is determined by her children's choices, and shares practical insight on handling mom guilt, comparison, and prodigal children. Highlighting fearless, flawed, and faithful biblical moms—including Rahab, Esther, Rebecca, Naomi, and unnamed women—Rhonda encourages listeners to focus on daily faithfulness, embrace mentorship, and trust God's work beyond what they can see. Her stories and biblical wisdom offer hope that ordinary, imperfect mothers can make an extraordinary impact.

Choosing to live a life submitted to God's authority, aligning our will with His, gives us the ability to resist temptation. Saying "Yes" to Jesus, leads to a life of spiritual fulfillment and victory over our enemy. By Dave Bartlett

Some shop owners are born into machining. Others stumble into it through YouTube, side jobs, and a little bit of "sure, I think we can fit that D11 dozer cylinder on the mill." Leighton Hill's story has a little bit of all of it. In this episode of MakingChips, we continue our Gen CNC series with Leighton Hill of Hillco, a young shop owner from the Kansas City area who grew up around manual machines, learned CNC through hands-on experimentation, and is now building a real business from nights, weekends, Facebook groups, local relationships, and whatever work comes through the door. Leighton shares how his dad's hobby shop sparked his interest in machining, why he originally had no interest in CNC, and how a used Hurco mill changed the direction of his life. From a cramped two-car garage to a 40x60 shop, he's been slowly turning a family passion into a serious business opportunity. We dig into the realities of starting small: pricing jobs without overcomplicating it, finding work through word of mouth, learning from YouTube, quoting overflow work, considering job boards, and deciding when it makes sense to invest in new equipment. Leighton also talks about his goal of going full-time, possibly moving into a larger shared shop, and eventually building a small team around production and aerospace work. Because if you're not learning, quoting, building relationships, and making chips, you're not making money.

A conversation with keynote speaker, leadership trainer, and singer-songwriter, Rachel Druckenmiller. Essential listening for anyone ready to stop holding the best parts of themselves back. Some people find their way to a courageous pivot through careful planning. Others get there because life makes the decision for them. And then there's the kind of wisdom that only comes from having done both, and arriving somewhere you never could have mapped. Rachel Druckenmiller is the kind of guest who says things you'll be repeating to yourself for weeks. About what it means to say yes before you feel ready. About the difference between a life that looks successful and one that actually feels alive. About speaking your desires out loud, even the ones that seem too big, too unlikely, too far away. About how the things that fall apart are often quietly clearing the path to what's next. There is a particular kind of courage in letting yourself be seen doing the thing you love most. Rachel has had to find that courage more than once, in more than one arena. What she's discovered on the other side is nothing short of a blueprint for coming home to yourself.

This week on the pod I'm talking about the financial and emotional cost of constantly saying yes during the chaos of event season. May can feel like a nonstop cycle of graduations, weddings, school events, birthday parties, fundraisers, travel, gifts, and social obligations — and while these moments are often joyful, they can also leave us feeling financially stretched, emotionally overwhelmed, and quietly resentful. In this episode, I talk about: The hidden emotional and financial pressure of “event season” The difference between joyful spending and resentment spending Why so many women struggle with boundaries around money, time, and obligations How people-pleasing and guilt influence our spending decisions The connection between overcommitting and nervous system burnout Why saying no doesn't make you selfish or uncaring Learning to honor your financial, emotional, and energetic capacity without guilt If you've ever felt overwhelmed by invitations, pressured to participate in everything, or resentful after spending money you didn't really want to spend — you are not alone!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Send Katie a Text Message!! What if the project draining your energy, your time, your profit, and your team was never actually the problem? What if the bigger issue is that you said yes to it in the first place?In this episode of Success by Design, I'm talking about the subtle “wrong projects” interior designers take on all the time — the ones that seem fine at first. The budget looks decent, the client seems nice enough, and the space has potential. But somewhere along the way, the project starts pulling your business in a direction you never intended.I'm unpacking why these projects create so much stress, how they quietly weaken your boundaries and positioning, and why saying yes to the wrong fit can completely reshape your business over time. We're also talking about the hidden costs designers don't always recognize — from scope creep and emotional labor to team confusion, burnout, and opportunity cost.Inside this episode, I'm sharing:Why wrong projects are usually a positioning problem, not just a client problemThe hidden cost of saying yes to misaligned workHow weak filters lead to exhausting projectsThe difference between high-touch service and unlimited accessWhy pricing, boundaries, and process all act as client filtersThe 7-question framework I use to evaluate whether a project is truly the right fitHow to stop building a business around fear-based yesesIf you've ever found yourself stuck in a project that looked good on paper but felt heavy in real life, this episode is going to hit home.

The goal is to build a design business that actually supports your life, your leadership, and your long-term vision.Connect with KatieLinkedInBusiness Strategy Sessions for Interior Designers Free Resources for scaling your interior design firmWebsite

In this episode, we dive into the story of Mary and unpack what it really looked like for her to say a wholehearted “yes” to God. We talk about how Mary responded with trust instead of fear when the angel Gabriel told her she would carry Jesus, and how her curiosity and surrender opened the door for God to move in miraculous ways. From the stable in Bethlehem to the foot of the cross, Mary's life reminds us what it means to faithfully follow Jesus through the beautiful, confusing, ordinary, and heartbreaking moments. We also get super honest about the tension of trusting God when life feels unclear. From navigating relationships and fear to letting go of control and choosing faith over anxiety, we reflect on how Mary continually brought her heart to God instead of running from Him. If you're in a season where you're asking God for clarity, courage, or deeper trust, we hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged to lean in closer and say yes to wherever He's leading you.

 This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, Timeline and  Audible. Poet, speaker, and transformational coach Adam Roa breaks down the modern crisis of masculinity, emotional safety, conscious relationships, and the hidden ways people abandon themselves in pursuit of comfort, validation, and love.

Geraldine has spent a decade coaching accountants out of the burnout trap and she brings the no-nonsense, practical framework to prove it.What she saw when she looked under the hood of accounting practices was a familiar pattern: massive AR balances, too many low-paying clients, long nights, and a business that was technically successful but genuinely exhausting to run. Stop saying yes to everything and start building the firm you deserve.

Njegos Ilic: Why Saying Yes to Every Stakeholder Request Is the Fastest Way to Fail as a Product Owner Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The game is rigged because they are strong personalities, they want to get things done, but you don't have a magic stick — it's really hard to deliver results if you cannot say no." - Njegos Ilic   Njegos shares a failure from early in his career as a product owner in startup environments, where he found himself saying yes to every stakeholder request. Working with strong-willed founders who expected things done their way, Njegos fell into the trap of trying to please everyone — building everything that was asked without pushing back. The result was predictable: scattered priorities, no room to pivot, and a product backlog driven by the loudest voice in the room rather than real user needs. But Njegos frames this failure with a perspective that product owners at any stage can learn from. He compares the learning process to watching children learn to walk — stumbling and falling is not a sign of weakness, it's a necessary step in the process of growing. His advice to product owners currently stuck in this pattern: don't try to avoid failures too hard, because you might prevent yourself from learning the most important lessons. Instead, treat failure as a feedback loop — something happened, you can measure it, and you can change your approach. The key is doing the actual work of reflection: What did I do? What should have been different? What wasn't possible to change, and why?   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you said yes to a stakeholder request even though your gut told you it wasn't the right call — and what would it take for you to say no next time?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Praveena Raman, the head of Motorola in Australia and New Zealand, is a self-described yes person. At the start of her career as an engineer, the “say yes to everything” mindset opened doors to pivotal opportunities that would set her on the path to becoming an executive. But a crucial piece of advice also made the smartphone boss realise the importance of saying no. On this week’s episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten sits down with the country head of the eighth-largest smartphone manufacturer globally to find out why she decided to shift her mindset.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being an international supermodel, as Kim Alexis was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, inspired a quiet rebellion within her against the cultural expectations that tell people, especially women, who they are supposed to be and when they are supposed to fade. In her new podcast, Unexpired (debuting on Apple, iHeart radio, Spotify, and YouTube on May 6), she explores why some people continue to thrive- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, long after our culture tells them that they're past their prime.It's an important topic that she explores with people who have lived interesting, full, and often highly visible lives, asking the question: what drives them forward when career or life changes?The podcast challenges one of the most damaging cultural myths: that your best years are behind you. You are not past your prime. Prime is not a number! It's how you steward your body, mind, relationships, and purpose.Upcoming guests include Jay Leno, Esai Morales, Justine Bateman, Super Bowl great Jim McMahon, Mariel Hemingway, Larry the Cable Guy, Carol Alt, Joe Theisman, Patrick Warburton, Joan Severence, NFL superstar Bret Saberhagen, Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts), and many more.People Mag: https://people.com/model-kim-alexis-chops-off-12-inches-of-her-hair-to-donate-to-children-with-hair-loss-exclusive-8413533 Sizzle Reel: https://next.frame.io/share/17d4f595-1cce-4665-969b-b50ba063d2a4/view/323983e6-c350-456d-a0dc-b8611ce7b53a Podcast episodes available here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-unexpired-332781591/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

This episode tackles one of the biggest struggles solopreneurs face: the guilt that comes with saying no. Carly and Joe dig into why so many solopreneurs feel overwhelmed, not because they lack time, but because they keep saying yes to things that don't serve the life they've designed. They introduce a simple but powerful filter for every opportunity that comes your way: Does this serve the life I designed? Not "is this a good opportunity?" or "can I handle this?"They walk through three common scenarios where solopreneurs are tempted to say yes when they shouldn't: the exciting exposure opportunity that eats your time and energy, the high-paying client who drains you with every interaction, and the favor for a friend or peer that chips away at your boundaries. Joe shares a real example of turning down a speaking invitation in Boston, and offers a practical alternative for difficult client situations, adjusting the relationship until the client self-selects out. Carly shares a communication tactic she's learned for declining without inviting negotiation: simply say "I can't right now" and stop there.The episode wraps with a weekly challenge: the next time something lands on your desk that you'd normally say yes to out of habit, pause and run it through the filter first.

Join Reverend Willis Greene as we delve into her sermon "Saying YES."

In this sermon Pastor Chris Lodriguss teaches on what it means to say 'Yes' to God. God found a way to reach you in your life once already and you had to say yes to him but continuing to say yes is not always easy. Thankfully God is a gentleman and doesn't force us. Saying Yes isn't always easy, and the next step God calls us to isn't always going to show its value immediately, but God always comes through and we just need to walk in faith. See some of the ways this happens in this sermon and more.

God isn’t asking you to have everything figured out. He’s asking you to trust Him with what you already have.

Strategy, at its core, is the act of making a small number of defining choices that render a large number of subsequent choices unnecessary. One clear commitment at the top eliminates hundreds of ambiguous decisions further down.

What does it look like to build an entire pet care business around cats? Maria Estes, founder of All About Cats Pet Sitting in Tallahassee, Florida, shares how a side gig started for income and joy grew into a thriving cat-specific business with over 900 clients. She explains why specialization matters, how feline behavior and medical needs have shaped her services, and why trust and communication are central to client peace of mind. Maria also talks about learning to let go, building a team, and finding the right people through rescue work, clients, and community relationships. Her story is a reminder that going deep into one niche can create stronger care, clearer boundaries, and a more meaningful business. Main topics: Building cat-specific services Trust through client communication Medical and behavioral care Growing beyond solo sitting Finding joy through specialization Main takeaway: "It's okay to be specialized in one area." Maria Estes built All About Cats Pet Sitting around a clear focus: cats. Not every pet care business has to serve every pet, every client, or every possible need. Sometimes the strength of a business comes from knowing exactly who you serve and committing to serving them well. Specialization allows us to deepen our education, improve our communication, and provide care that truly fits the animal in front of us. For Maria, that means cat-specific care rooted in trust, behavior knowledge, and peace of mind for the people who love them. About out guest: Maria Estes is the founder of All About Cats Pet Sitting in Tallahassee, Florida. She launched the business in 2010 with an exclusive focus on cat care after a 20-year career as an ultrasonographer specializing in high-risk pregnancies. Maria is a Certified Professional Pet Sitter and is also certified in cat training and bereavement support. Through her work, she focuses on specialized feline care, client trust, medical needs, behavior awareness, and helping cat guardians feel confident while they are away.

Are you saying yes to everything and wondering why you have no joy left? Dr. Santina Wheat, family physician, program director, and wellness coach, has lived that story and found her way through it. She shares what she has learned about alignment, boundaries, and how to build a sustainable career in medicine without leaving it behind. Timestamps: 2:00: The reality of family medicine: double bookings, no lunch, and being told you are not bringing in enough money 4:00: How she protects her team from unsustainable scheduling and why saying no for them matters 7:00: The pause: why reacting too quickly is one of the biggest drivers of burnout 13:00: Losing her mom, surviving COVID as a first year program director, and finally finding coaching 17:00: The one misconception that sent her into burnout: thinking availability meant immediate response 22:00: How coaching changed the way she has difficult conversations with residents 3 Key Takeaways: Saying Yes to Everything Is Not How You Get Ahead. Earlier in her career Dr. Wheat thought taking every opportunity was the path forward. What it actually did was fill her calendar with things she didn't enjoy and drain the joy from her career. Alignment, not busyness, is what creates sustainability. The question to ask yourself: what did the younger version of you actually want to do with this career? Availability Does Not Mean Immediate Response. One of the biggest lessons Dr. Wheat learned from coaching was that she didn't have to answer every message the moment it arrived. Sometimes waiting two minutes meant someone else handled it. Sometimes the person figured it out themselves. Being responsive and being reactive are two very different things. The Pause Is Everything. Whether it is a difficult conversation with a resident, a request to take on a new role, or a message that arrives at 10pm, the pause is the single most powerful tool available to any clinician. When you stop and ask how you actually want to respond rather than just reacting, the joy becomes so much easier to find.

Is your schedule secretly sabotaging your marriage? Every time you say YES to something, you're saying NO to your family. In this Marriage Minute, Joshua Broome unpacks how unchecked priorities create disorder — and how disorder leads to dysfunction and eventually destruction. YES is not neutral. If your relationships feel off, it might be time to check the hierarchy of your life.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of The Anchored by the Sword Podcast. I am so excited about today's conversation—because this one truly felt like a God-ordained connection.Today, I'm sitting down with Kim Oswalt, and you guys… her story is such a beautiful reminder that when God calls you into something, He doesn't leave you to figure it out alone.We talk about what it looks like to:Say “yes” to God—even when you feel unqualifiedWalk through fear (especially the fear of failure)Step into obedience before you feel readyAnd discover that you were actually made for more all alongKim shares her journey of coming to faith as a teenager, walking through years of growth, and then—years later—feeling God nudge her to write a book… even though she had never written anything before.And I love this part—because I know so many of us can relate:

If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself in military life, you're not alone.

In this episode, Linda and Dana unpack major leadership lessons from Keller Williams' Leadership Academy, top real estate masterminds, and personal growth experiences. They explore why many high-performing agents master leads and listings but stall when they fail to recruit true leadership-level talent, emphasizing that real growth requires building a bench of exceptional "whos" who can solve problems without constant oversight. They break down passive income, opportunity mapping, saying yes before you feel ready, and letting go of identity tied to one role or income stream, and why your own success can sometimes become the very thing holding you back from your next level.  

https://www.BackTheRide.comMy Personal Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@mattkingatx Today I talk about the one moment that actually matters—the moment you say something out loud and it becomes real. I break down why the hardest part isn't doing the work, it's living in the loop of “should I or shouldn't I.” I also get honest about what commitment really costs—your time, your identity, and the low days nobody prepares you for.

In this Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode, we catch up with Paula "Must Try Harder" McGuire — author, speaker, triathlete, wing-walker, double TEDx speaker, mental health ambassador… and proudly, a trier. Based just outside Glasgow, Paula has been adventuring since 2015 and has built a reputation for trying something new every day — including completing 366 new experiences in 2020. But the years since we last spoke have brought extraordinary challenges. Paula shares openly about being diagnosed as autistic at 44, having a stroke at the end of 2021 and developing epilepsy, going through a divorce after 15 years of marriage, losing her home to a flood, and navigating post-stroke fatigue — all while spending six months in enforced van life. We talk about how adventure supported her through the hardest moments, how her neurodivergent brain fuels her love of planning and trying, and why you don't need to be the best at something to enjoy giving it a go. Paula also reflects on writing her book Adventures for Bored Adults (commissioned by Penguin), rediscovering her love of swimming, and learning acceptance in the face of uncertainty. Honest, funny and deeply human, this conversation is about resilience, identity, and continuing to say yes — even when life doesn't go to plan. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Today's episode is one I personally needed.As I've stepped into offering higher-ticket services, I found myself bumping up against some mindset blocks—questions like: Am I worth this? Will people actually pay this? Do I need to give more to justify the price?So I brought on someone I trust deeply in this space—Nikki Rausch, also known as The Sales Maven—to walk us through it.Inside this conversation, Nikki breaks down one of the most powerful concepts around pricing and value:You will often be paid the most for what is easiest for you.We dig into her framework around the four levels of competency, and why your zone of genius—the thing that feels second nature to you—is actually where your highest value lies.We also talk about something so many business owners get wrong when they start charging more: Over-delivering.Nikki shares why giving more isn't always better—and how overwhelming your client can actually take away from their experience. Instead, we shift the focus to what really matters: a clear, confident, and supportive client experience.And finally, we dive into one of Nikki's superpowers:Asking better questions.Because the right questions don't just lead to better sales—they lead to better relationships, better results, and clients who feel truly seen and understood.Nikki also shares a free resource with you—her Easy Follow-Up Guide—to help you confidently stay connected with potential clients without feeling awkward or pushy. You'll find that linked in the show notes.If you've ever felt stuck around pricing, selling, or stepping into your next level of business—this episode will meet you right where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.And if you're ready to be seen as the go-to in your industry, don't forget to grab my free Google Business Profile workshop at msmelissarose.com/deals.All things Nikki Rausch - The Sales Maven Website: https://yoursalesmaven.comIG https://www.instagram.com/your_sales_maven/LI www.linkedin.com/in/nikkirauschYouTube http://www.youtube.com/c/SalesMavenFB https://www.facebook.com/yoursalesmaven/Blog: https://yoursalesmaven.com/sales-maven-blog/Her Gift to Us!Your GO-TO LINK for all things Visibility-: Google Business Profile Optimization, The Website + Social Media Audit, The Visibility Blueprint, Newsletter, & Referral Partners.Love today's podcast?
