In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into one of the sneakiest ways we sabotage ourselves: saying yes after a string of no’s. Our brains often trick us into believing we “deserve” a reward after sacrifice—even if that yes derails our goals.
April shares how to recognize this moment of weakness, why it happens, and how to build the self-awareness needed to stay aligned with your bigger vision. She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in decision-making, ensuring that every yes or no moves you closer to the life and business you’re building.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
How your brain uses “rewards” to justify a yes after multiple no’s.
-
How to be intentional in decision-making and outsmart your brain.
-
The power of saying the fourth no with the same energy as the first.
-
Why awareness is the first step in stopping sabotage.
Quote to Remember:
“Your brain will try to trick you into a yes after sacrifice—but the true reward is staying aligned with your goals.” – April
Key Takeaway:
High performers don’t just say no once—they say no consistently, even when their brain is screaming for an easy yes. That consistency is where the magic happens.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
