113: You Get to Change Your Mind

Reframe to Create

“They get to change their mind, and you get to change yours too.”

When Sawida’s mom dropped this nugget of wisdom into a moment of heartbreak in middle school, it was more than comfort.

It was liberation.

In this episode, I take you inside that story and unpack the stunning power of this reframe: the reminder that rejection doesn’t strip you of your agency. You still have a choice. You still get to pivot, reframe, and keep creating.

We explore:

• How “they get to change their mind” frees you from taking rejection personally

• How “you get to change your mind too” reminds you of your own power and choice

• Why rejection isn’t just an ending, but often a signal of completion

• How to use rejection as a springboard into the final step of my C.R.E.A.T.E. framework: Evolve

Because here’s the truth: rejection does not unmake you. It simply points to a new choice, a new path, a new creation waiting for you.

🔑 In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

• A liberating reframe for rejection that helps you stay in your agency

• How to spot when “no” really means “this is complete”

• Practical ways to pivot and evolve when something ends

• Why changing your mind is not flakiness — it’s wisdom in action

🎧 Tune in to hear how this one sentence — “You get to change your mind” — can become your permission slip to reframe, pivot, and keep creating.
