235 – Have you ever hesitated to ask for what you really want—because you were too focused on what you might lose? Whether it’s upgrading your career, taking a bold step, or simply asking for something better, fear of loss can quietly hold you back from the opportunities you desire.
In this episode, I’m sharing a $2000 lesson we learned on a recent trip to Mexico—one that revealed how focusing on what you could lose can prevent you from gaining so much more.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
🔹 How fear of loss shows up in your decisions—and keeps you from the opportunities you want
🔹 The power of curiosity and asking for what you desire (and how it can open doors you didn’t expect)
🔹 Where you might be letting fear hold you back in your career—and practical ways to shift your focus to what you can gain
🔹 Why embracing a "why not ask?" mindset leads to more possibilities in life and work
👉 Also—I’m interviewing people who feel unfulfilled in their careers and worry it's affecting how they show up at home. If that’s you, let’s talk.
