The Power of Saying YES to Yourself with Lori Pappas
This week on Don't Shrink to Fit, I had the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Lori Pappas—a woman who has shattered expectations, defied societal norms, and lived life entirely on her own terms.
Lori’s story is a testament to resilience, choice, and the magic of saying YES—not just to opportunities, but to yourself. She shares her journey from overcoming a challenging childhood to building a successful business in a male-dominated industry, redefining success on her own terms, and eventually embracing love and purpose in ways she never expected.
Here are some of the powerful takeaways from this episode:
✨ You always have a choice – No matter where you come from or what life throws at you, you have the power to shape your future. Lori reminds us that even in the most difficult circumstances, we can choose to rise above.
✨ Mistakes are not failures – Lori believes in making as many mistakes as possible, as quickly as possible—because that’s how we learn, grow, and build resilience. Her perspective on mistakes will change the way you see setbacks forever.
✨ Success is yours to define – What if success isn’t about fitting into a mold but about crafting a life that aligns with your deepest values? Lori shares how she has redefined success at every stage of her life and encourages us to do the same.
✨ Saying YES opens doors you never imagined – Lori’s book, The Magic of Yes, dives deep into how embracing new opportunities, even when they’re scary, can lead to incredible transformations.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid to take risks, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. It’s a powerful reminder that your life is yours to create. https://www.loripappas.com/
