My "No" Year - And Why It Matters
About this episode
Somewhere between the Hallmark fantasies, fluffy coats and well meant invitations, I realised how much space was being taken up in my brain by things I was not actually doing.
Thinking about books and stages was costing me more energy than the things that genuinely move my business forward. So I wanted to record this small but honest moment of clarity, in case you are also carrying around ideas that feel more like clutter than purpose.
This next year, for me, is a no year. Not dramatic, not defeatist, just a gentle reclaiming of capacity.
Saying no has already created so much relief and focus, and I hope that hearing this sparks your own reflection on what deserves your yes, and what you can lovingly set aside for now.
Highlights:
(01:42) Why my yes years were fun but financially chaotic
(04:15) Realising book and stage dreams were quietly clogging my mental capacity
(07:58) The sweaty pants moment that changed how I see visibility
(10:46) The relief of declaring a no year on a school run
(13:22) Learning to work with my neurodivergent brain instead of against it
(16:40) How removing distractions strengthens my trust ecosystem
