How To Ask For What You Want (And Actually Get It)
How many opportunities slipped through your fingers because you never opened your mouth? That job. That relationship. The help you needed when everything was falling apart.
You sat there waiting for someone to magically know what you wanted, or you convinced yourself that asking made you pushy, selfish, demanding. And the whole time, the answer stayed no - because you never gave anyone a chance to say yes.
Here's what actually happens when you ask: doors open that you didn't even know existed. A soldier rewrote a decades-old military rule with one letter. A woman moved across the world and built a business without a step-by-step plan. Someone survived a medical crisis because they finally stopped trying to handle it alone.
In this episode, you'll discover why silence guarantees you nothing, what belief is really keeping you from speaking up, and how to make requests that create possibilities instead of shutting them down.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why your partner can't read your mind - and what Jordan Peterson means when he says they're "stupid" if you expect them to
- The real fear behind staying silent: what a "no" actually means versus the story you tell yourself about not being important enough
- What "enrollment conversations" are - and why everything you want sits on the other side of one
- The wishy-washy request trap: why women avoid being "that demanding woman" and then wonder why nothing happens the way they wanted
- How unsaid expectations breed resentment - and why "I'll just do it myself" destroys relationships
- Why analytical minds stay paralyzed: the obsession with knowing exactly how before taking a single step
- What "the how is not your business" actually means - and why it's the only way anything actually happens
- Why we reserve asking for the last desperate moment instead of making it the first strategic move
- The belief underneath all the resistance: "I don't deserve to ask for what I want" - and how to figure out what yours actually is
