The YES EffectThe Gift of Imperfection (Why I’ve Been Away From Podcasting)Today, I want to talk about accepting and embracing the wonderful gift of imperfection. As someone who has struggled with perfectionism, I realize it’s been holding me back from creating content lately, including this podcast. Oddly enough, as a speaker, podcaster and content creator, I am not comfortable in the spotlight. The amount of times I’ve shied away from posting videos or recording interviews because I hated how I looked that day, or the lighting was off, or I just didn’t feel “camera ready” is more than I can count. And it has let so much ma...2023-08-2806 minThe YES EffectTYE 156: Unlocking the Brilliance Inside Challenging Kids with Dayna AbrahamDayna Abraham has developed a guide for parenting “challenging” kids - those with big emotions, power struggles; the misbehavers and neurodivergents. Her new bestselling book “Calm the Chaos - a Failproof Roadmap for Parenting Even the Most Challenging Kids'' is aimed at reframing what we typically label as “challenging” behaviour as an opportunity for adults to learn and empower their kids to reach their full, innate potential. In this episode, Abraham talks about how her framework helps parents foster connections, understanding, and empowerment, while removing the stress and overwhelm of parenting. After all, some of the world’s greatest in...2023-08-2131 min

The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging PodcastThe First Female Firefighter & the Power of a Story with Shelli Varela#671 This may come as a surprise, but your story has nothing to do with you.

But don't take my word for it—listen in on my conversation with Shelli Varela to experience it firsthand. Today, she shares her inspiring journey from a 108-pound manicurist to becoming the first female firefighter in her ci...2023-04-1245 minThe YES EffectTYE 155: Focus On The Next Step, Not The Whole Mountain (How I Wrote A Song)To make a big dream happen, you have to break it into small, individual steps and focus on the next first step. This way, you can make even the wildest, even most absurd, idea a success. This episode is a story about how my 13 year-old step son Ry and I co-created a song with the help of a celebrity music producer, without ever meeting him, and with almost zero musical abilities myself. I just really wanted to make a song with Ry, and focused on the next first step. Listen to the end to hear th...2023-03-1429 minThe YES EffectHow to overcome perfectionism and embrace the messy steps to successPerfectionism is a killer of hopes and dreams. The challenge is learning to accept and embrace the messy, imperfect steps necessary to create momentum. It’s how every successful person gets to the top of the mountain, and why so many people never reach it. This quick episode is about my holistic approach to doing things the most human way possible: imperfectly. Please listen, share and I hope this lights your fire to keep taking messy, imperfect steps forward to your ultimate “yes!” In this episode, you’ll learn: Why people often fail at their go...2023-01-3006 minThe YES EffectSay What You Need to Say Before It’s Too LateThis holiday season was a difficult one for me, and in this episode, I explain why & what I learned from it. In the very days leading up, one of my absolute closest people fell ill and died quite suddenly. I spent Christmas Day in the hospice at her side, spending those final inevitable moments in deep sorrow and reflection. But those moments also reminded me of a valuable life lesson - woven beautifully into one of my favourite John Mayer songs. Please listen and share with someone who needs to hear it. Death and dying ar...2023-01-1604 minThe YES EffectHow To Overcome The Fear of Asking Questions (A Personal Story)At some point we developed this fear of asking questions. For so many people, the thought of potentially hearing “no” is crippling enough to pass up the incredible possibility of “yes.” But as the saying goes, “you’ll never know until you ask,” and not asking at all, ironically, leads to that same dreaded “no” by default. So how do we find the courage to ask questions? In this episode, I’m sharing two occasions where - scared as I was - I took a shot at asking. One resulted in a business deal with one of the biggest luxury ca...2022-12-2804 minThe YES EffectI wasn’t meant to be the prettiest girl in schoolJealousy and comparison can shatter us. But when we focus on others’ success, money, fame, appearance, situation or whatever, we forget the truth - the truth of our own gifts and the true story of what’s beneath the surface. I wanted to share this quick story about a girl in my high school - hands down the prettiest and most popular girl in the school. Every fibre in my short, geeky body badly wanted to be her. Turns out, there was so much more to the story, and it made me forever grateful for my own...2022-09-2206 minThe YES EffectHow to build positive company culture by learning about your people and their storiesTo build a positive company culture, you first need to show that you care about your people. Sounds like a simple concept, right? Then why does so much toxic company culture still exist? It’s because leaders need to learn more about what drives their people and why, and most importantly, genuinely care. In today’s episode, I’m going to explain how leaders can build far more successful businesses and create a much more positive work environment using the power of story. The perfect example: how the Wright Brothers won the highly competitive race to inven...2022-09-1507 minThe YES EffectHow to find your place in the world when you feel lost with Bara MannIf you’ve ever struggled with finding your true place in the world, Bara Mann’s story will inspire you.

So took a leap of faith and quit, not knowing what was next. What happened next was pure magic. Bara is now a Transformational Life Coach and Speaker, specializing in helping people overcome their patterns and limiting beliefs so they can advance confidently in their lives and ca...2022-08-3132 minThe YES EffectThe difference between effort and effortingSometimes we try so hard to force an outcome, we lose sight of why we were doing it in the first place. The good news: it’s not about lack of effort. It’s just the wrong kind of effort. In this short episode, I’ll share exactly what to do the next time you’re struggling to accomplish something that is just not happening, no matter how much time and effort you’re putting in. This little change will make all the difference. Please share this with someone who is struggling toward an outcome. With the ri...2022-08-1504 minThe YES EffectStick to your beliefs, despite what everyone else saysI wanted to share this quick story of a moment in grade 5 that changed my life. As kids, we all know how powerful peer pressure can be. It’s much easier (and often safer) to follow what everyone else is doing, rather than speak up - especially when you’re painfully shy and bullied, like I was. And for many of us, this carries into adulthood, too. But here’s what happens when you stand your ground, separate yourself from the crowd and stick to your beliefs. Please share this podcast with someone you know who nee...2022-08-0804 minThe YES EffectDon’t kill your magic with logicLogic can keep us safe, but it can absolutely crush our true essence. Truth is, the people who accomplish the things that light their soul on fire follow their magic, not their logic. Here’s a quick listen to explain why (recorded in a park in Toronto, to please excuse the skateboarding in the background). Please share this podcast with someone you know who is letting logic get in the way of their true potential. And never be afraid to let your freak flag fly. In this episode, you’ll learn: ...2022-08-0102 minThe YES EffectThe woman who used my TED Talk as her ringtoneThis quick story was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. It’s a moment with a stranger where I truly realized how sharing your story can help others. An aspiring young female firefighter had tracked me down and asked to meet for coffee. Throughout her training, she had been rewatching this TED Talk I did on becoming a female firefighter. The day we met in person, her phone rang. That moment, both our lives changed. There is somebody out there that needs your help. And som...2022-07-2504 minThe YES EffectHow to find your truth, tell your story and change someone's lifeEveryone has something to give to the world.

If we resign to “I’m not capable” or “it’s never been done” then we let our perception win. But a belief can’t stop you. Period. A belief in a limitation is more powerful than the limitation itself.
