"Don't look to other people to support you for you to go do something. It's nice if you can get it, but if you're saying you need to gimme this so I can do this, they're not the problem. Your thinking is the problem." - Evy Poumpouras
Former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras shares her powerful journey of overcoming rejection and pursuing her career despite facing mockery and lack of support. Growing up with immigrant parents from Greece who couldn't understand her professional aspirations, Evy learned to forge her own path without seeking external validation. She candidly reveals a pivotal moment when a probation officer recruiter laughed at her behind her back after she failed an exam—yet this humiliation became fuel that ultimately propelled her toward success in federal law enforcement.
Evy delivers transformative wisdom about distinguishing between unsupportive loved ones and toxic individuals who actively wish for your failure. She emphasizes the critical importance of trusting your intuition, removing energy vampires from your life, and releasing the need for others' approval before taking action. Her remarkable transformation from feeling shame after professional rejection to becoming a respected Secret Service agent offers listeners a blueprint for developing unshakable self-belief even when facing ridicule and skepticism from others.
