What if we've been conditioned to say 'no' by defalut, and this the thing that's holding us back?

In this revolutionary episode, we explore the unexpected power of a well-placed yes—not the kind that drains you, but the kind that expands you. For Scholarly Mamas® navigating academia, parenting, and ambition, this conversation reimagines what’s possible when you stop shrinking your life to fit your well-defined 'boxes'—and start saying yes to what actually lights you up.

In this episode, I share:

• The hidden cost of defaulting to 'no'—even when it feels responsible
• Why the right 'yes' can create time, energy, and momentum 
• A simple framework to help you tell the difference between a draining 'yes' and a liberating one
• How your brave 'yes' becomes a radical lesson in possibility for your kids

You just might walk away rethinking everything you’ve turned down lately—and ready to say 'yes' to something that scares you... in the best way. Because it's not about doing more. It's about embracing the freedom to become more of you. Tune in for the most revolutionary podcast episode ever!
