In the hustle of entrepreneurship, we’re often told to say yes—to opportunity, growth, and grit. But sometimes the most powerful move we can make… is to say no. In this solo episode, Molly reflects on five pivotal moments when choosing “no” over “yes” created the space, alignment, and peace she truly needed—both in her business and in her life.
From walking away from steady income to turning down the dream office space, Molly walks you through the stories, lessons, and surprising gifts that came with each decision. Whether you’re deep in decision fatigue or sensing it’s time for a shift, this episode will remind you:
“Every time we say no, we’re also saying yes—to space, to integrity, to what really matters.”
