Ep. 1: A Yes She Could Keep

What happens when the opportunity you wanted finally arrives, but saying yes to it could cost you something you worked hard to protect?

In this episode, we meet a woman facing a decision that looks exciting from the outside but feels far more complicated once she considers what matters most to her.

The decision

The opportunity is real, and she wanted it. But once she looks at her three core values, the realities of her life, and the trade-offs hidden inside the offer, she begins to see that the decision isn’t simply yes or no.

It’s whether she can find a yes she can actually keep.

What matters most to her

• [Annie: core value one]
• [Annie: core value two]
• [Annie: core value three]

[Annie: one or two sentences on how each value pulls on the decision.]

The trade-offs

• If she says yes as offered: she gets the opportunity she wanted, and risks what she worked so hard to protect.
• If she says no: she protects what matters to her, and lets the opportunity pass.
• A third way: change the shape of her yes into one she can actually keep.

Questions to ask yourself

1. When has an opportunity looked exciting from the outside but felt complicated on the inside?
2. What have you worked hard to protect that a yes could cost you?
3. What would a yes you could actually keep look like?
