“You Should Start Saying Yes Again” — How My Son Called Me Out

Everything looked good on the outside—business, parenting, success. But inside? I was numb. Burned out. Going through the motions.

Then my 9-year-old son looked at me and said the 7 words that cracked me open: “You should start saying yes again.”

That sentence shattered everything I thought I knew about success, happiness, and what it means to be alive.

In this first episode of the Say Yes Experience relaunch, I’m sharing: – What burnout looked like when it was hiding in plain sight – How one moment with my son ignited a movement – The real story behind The Say Yes Experience – And 3 critical mindset shifts to reclaim your joy and potential

If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering if this is all there is to life—this episode is your wake-up call.

  Questions to ask yourself after listening:

• What are you saying no to…without realizing it?
• Are you chasing the end result and missing the magic of the journey?
• Are you willing to fall, get back up, and repeat until something clicks?

Say yes to this listen. It just might change everything.
