Volume of Opportunity
Episode Summary:
In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that came into focus during a recent trip to NYC. Over the course of 36 hours, I had three major visibility opportunities—two were amazing, and one totally flopped. But instead of spiraling over the one that didn’t land, I felt grounded. Why? Because I had volume on my side.
When you stack opportunities, no single one has the power to derail your confidence. We explore why taking more swings is the secret to building momentum, buffering against failure, and staying resilient in your journey.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ Why opportunity is truly a numbers game
✨ How one “bad” talk didn’t break me because I had two wins lined up
✨ The mindset shift from machine to human (and why it matters)
✨ The power of applying for multiple fellowships, not just one
✨ How volume can emotionally insulate you from rejection
✨ Why you need to be planting seeds constantly to stay in momentum
Mentioned in This Episode:
📘 The Rest Revolution – My book on shifting away from perfectionism and hustle culture
🗽 NYC trip takeaways – 3 visibility moments in 36 hours
✍🏽 Journalism fellowships and personal essays – The power of applying and pitching in batches
✅ Spring Clarity Workshop - Get clear on what hunger is currently calling you
Listener Takeaway:
Stop betting everything on one perfect pitch or one big moment. Instead, embrace volume. Take more shots. Apply to more things. Speak in more rooms. Create more opportunities for yourself so you’re never defined by just one.
All you need is one to hit.
