Coffee with Kim

Does saying “no” make your heart race? Does receiving a “no” after a big ask feel like a gut punch? Darrah shared her story about receiving a rejection from Brene Brown and how it completely shifted her relationship with the word “no.” Having started four businesses Darrah Brustein knows firsthand what it means to align and realign your goals and values. She joined the Coffee With Kim crew live late last year but the conversation was so good I thought we could use a few of her reminders as we head into Q3. My favorite advice she shared? Three questions to ask yourself before saying yes to an opportunity. I’ve used it so many times since! If you’re struggling to say “yes” wholeheartedly or “no” when it’s necessary, this episode is for you. Shoot me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn if it shifts your world the way it did mine! Notes:03:50 How To Find Clarity12:01 Creating Actionable Steps Toward Your Goals21:00 Saying No Kindly30:15 Three Questions To Ask Yourself Before Saying Yes37:05 Confidence, Consistency & Clarity41:13 Speed Round If you loved this episode you should check out this episode Create Time-Saving Systems With Jenny Blake If you enjoyed today’s episode, please:1.)
