Sometimes Just Say Yes and Let It Fly

Episode 03 — Sometimes Just Say Yes, and Let It Fly Description The Unexpected Gift of Saying Yes Sometimes life carries us farther outside our comfort zone than we ever intended to go. We look for exits. We negotiate with ourselves. We wonder how we got there. And sometimes, the only way out... is through. Years ago, an ordinary night bartending in Chicago led me somewhere I never expected to be—an underground fight club, an electric chair, and a decision about whether to walk away or simply say yes and see where the night took me. What happened next became one of those strange experiences that stayed with me long after the night was over. Sometimes Just Say Yes, and Let It Fly is a real-life story about fear, surrender, stepping outside our comfort zones, and the unexpected things we can discover about ourselves when we loosen our grip on how we think life is supposed to unfold. Because perhaps some of the moments we're trying hardest to escape... become the stories we're most grateful to have lived. A question to carry with you: Is there a moment in your life when saying yes to something uncomfortable or unexpected led you somewhere you never could have planned?
