What happens when everything goes sideways?

In this flash fire episode, I’m sharing powerful insights I learned from Navy SEAL-turned-leadership expert Rich Diviney. After attending a conference to support a friend, I walked away with a game-changing framework for facing fear, chaos, and uncertainty.

We’ll unpack:

• Why fear = uncertainty + anxiety
• The “predictability paradigm” and how to break it
• A 3-step mental model to regain control: Duration. Pathway. Outcome.

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode is the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.

I’m going to be real with you—sometimes the biggest business breakthroughs don’t happen on stage, in a meeting, or during a strategy session. They happen when your feelings get hurt, your plans go sideways, and you say “yes” anyway.

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how a last-minute trip to Nashville turned into one of the most impactful mastermind experiences of my year—all because I chose to show up, even when I felt excluded.

Here’s the tea: I wasn’t invited to a mastermind dinner I thought I’d be part of. And, like any human with a beating heart, I had a lot of feelings. I let myself sit in them. I reached out to my girl Amy Porterfield. And instead of letting the exclusion define me, I made a new story—and booked a plane ticket.

Spoiler: That trip led to a powerful mini mastermind with some of the most brilliant female entrepreneurs I know (Jenna Kutcher, Bonnie Christine, and more), and I walked away 1% better—and with 5 key takeaways you can apply to your business today.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why rest is just as productive as hustle
• How to reframe moments of rejection
• What “choosing a better story” looks like in action
• The power of informal opportunities
• How to squeeze value out of every experience (even the ones that don’t go as planned)

Whether you're navigating disappointment or wondering if it’s worth hopping on a plane last-minute, I hope this episode encourages you to trust the process and say yes to what could be next.

Because the truth is, the right rooms won't just open for you—they’ll find you when you're ready.
