What if saying YES—especially when it feels uncomfortable—is the very thing that brings you back to life?

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of the Say YES Movement Podcast, Heather and John are joined by a truly special guest and long-time inspiration, Hugh Comerford—NLP Master Practitioner, Trainer, Innovation Facilitator, DEI startup founder, and accidental energy healer.

This conversation goes far beyond theory.

Hugh shares his extraordinary origin story—from spending five years housebound with agoraphobia to rebuilding his life through a series of courageous, uncomfortable YESes. Along the way, we explore how presence, breath, and the bodyshape our emotional state, our mindset, and ultimately the future we create.

Together, we dive into:

• Why saying YES is actually saying YES to life itself

• How resistance, frustration, and stress quietly drain our energy

• The role of NLP and physiology in shifting mindset in real time

• Why the present moment—the now—is the only place real change happens

• A simple, practical breathing reset you can use anytime to ground yourself and create a "new now"

This episode is a masterclass in awareness, mindset, and self-leadership—filled with real stories, deep insights, and moments that may stop you in your tracks.

If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected…
If you know there's more available to you—but you're not sure how to access it…
This conversation is your invitation to pause, breathe, and say YES to this moment.

Because when you shift how you show up now, you change everything that comes next.

🎧 Tune in, breathe deep, and join us in the now.

Most people start the year asking,
"What should I do differently this year?"

But the more powerful question is:

👉 "Who do I need to be more of?"

In this episode of the Say YES Movement Podcast, we dive into why so many high-performing professionals begin the year full of motivation… only to end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning their direction.

This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reset.

Inside the episode, we explore:

• Why pressure kills momentum (even for high achievers)

• The hidden cost of chasing goals without clarity

• How one intentional YES can shift the entire trajectory of your year

This isn't about doing more.
It's about doing what actually matters—with intention, alignment, and energy.

When was the last time you checked your bias?

Here's the truth: not all bias is bad. In fact, it's what helps us make quick decisions and navigate complexity. But left unchecked, bias can quietly become the biggest roadblock to progress — narrowing your lens, stalling your team, and eroding the culture you've worked hard to build.

In this episode of the Say YES Movement Podcast, Heather Arthur and John Ribeiro unpack the good, the bad, and the blind spots of bias. Together, they explore how self-awareness turns bias from a trap into a leadership superpower.

👉 Ask yourself: Are my biases guiding me forward — or getting in the way?
If you're ready to lead with clarity, empathy, and purpose, this one's for you.
