In this episode, Megan brings a timely reminder for the holiday season — but one that applies all year long: every yes has a cost. Whether it’s a project, an invitation, a commitment, or even a good thing — saying yes always means saying no to something else, and the problem isn’t the cost… it’s when we ignore it.
Through personal stories — from her daughter’s school play to 5 a.m. habits to saying no to her favorite band — Megan shows how unintentional yeses are what create overwhelm, exhaustion, and resentment, while intentional yeses create peace, presence, and joy.
You’ll learn:
Why overwhelm is rarely about “too much to do” — and mostly about unconscious decision-making
How to identify what your yes is really costing you (time, rest, energy, joy)
Why saying yes to everything is actually saying no to yourself
How to choose the most meaningful things instead of all the things
The difference between a busy life and a full, intentional one
How to know when a cost is worth it — and when it isn’t
This episode is part wake-up call, part permission slip: you don’t have to do it all. You just have to choose on purpose.
From Impossible to Inevitable is a personal development podcast with the goal of giving you tools, resources, and perspective shifts that makes living your most expansive life inevitable.
