30 Days of Yes: Saying Yes to Yourself and Your Next Chapter

Send us fan mail. We love to hear from you!Success can be the very thing that hides your next chapter. Nichol Ellis- McGregor sits down with Anouk Brumfield a former IBM executive vice president and senior partner, to talk about what happens when you’ve “made it” and still hear a louder call to grow, serve, and lead differently. We get honest about the fear behind major career transitions, the tension of walking away from predictable paychecks, and why reinvention often starts with obedience and one small step you take before you feel ready.We unpack what reinvention looks like in real life: taking a hard look in the mirror, admitting where you feel stuck, and choosing growth over comfort. Anouk shares the heart behind her book “30 Days of Yes,” including why so many high achievers say yes to everyone else while quietly neglecting themselves. We talk self-worth, boundaries, journaling and reflection, and the daily practices that help you rebuild confidence with clarity and courage.Then we shift into leadership and legacy. Anouk breaks down lessons from 32 years in corporate America, including why being an original beats being a copy and how people-first leadership changes outcomes. We also explore the mindset shift that makes change possible: believe you deserve better, act with intention, and stay consistent long enough for the small steps to add up. If you’re navigating a career pivot, personal transformation, or leadership growth, this one will meet you where you are and push you forward.
