Thank You For Saying NO
The Thank You For Saying NO Podcast is about finding a way to be thankful when we’ve been told “no.” The word “no” is supposed to be reflective of all of life’s unexpected turns. Whether it’s rejection from a job, a relationship ending, having to pick up your life and make a move you didn’t want to, losing someone close to you, any sort of life altering event that you did not expect. The conversations on this podcast will inspire you that when you’re told no or when things don’t go according to plan, it will still work out, potentially even better than you could have ever imagined.
