Hello, hello everybody. I'm Lexi Lombard, your host of the Alexi

podcast. Thanks for tuning in. If you listen to the last week's

episode, I had just come back from a weekend trip. in Los Angeles which has been great because I spent this week hanging out with some of them

just expanding my circle which makes this place that I live in feel that much more like a

home I always want to encourage people to say yes saying yes is so natural to me. One of my favorite

things in this life is to have a new experience, to meet a new person, to see if

someplace that I've never seen. I'll do anything for a new experience. It's truthfully what one of my favorite aspects of this life is.

So I think one of my crosses to bear truthfully is learning to say no because I want to say yes

to everything and then I'll overwhelm myself and then I'll let people down which is something that I could absolutely avoid.

I think you have to figure out which side you lean towards and then work on exploring the other side.

So as a natural yes man man I want to encourage everybody to

say yes but as someone who's learning the power of no later in life that's a new

one for me. Sorry, can't. No, don't want to. And not being embarrassed or shy to ask for what I want,

because I'm always down to an opportunity that's presented to me more often than not.

Huh, I think this is going to be more of a therapist episode as opposed to storytelling

because I think I'm figuring this out in real time.

But something that I have trouble with is I'll be embarrassed or shy to ask for what I want.

I've just been a lucky person that is asked to go,

come on this trip with me, be my plus one to this show, why don't we go on this trip together.

I have this brand that wants to work with you.

There's a marathon coming up. Do you want to join? My friend and I are going climbing. Why don't you come with

us and I'm always saying yes and because I'm constantly being invited to things I think I've developed a fear to invite people.
