You Only Die Once with Jodi Wellman | 262

On this episode of This Is Woman’s Work, we tackle fear and rejection—how to face it, move through it, and ultimately conquer it. Why? Because everything we want is on the other side of fear, and building bridges to cross it is essential for growth and fulfillment. I’m joined by Jodi Wellman, a former corporate executive turned executive coach, with a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Jodi teaches in the Master’s program at Penn and is a trainer for the Penn Resilience Program. She is also the author of You Only Die Once, has a thought-provoking TEDx Talk on using the reality of death to inspire life, and leads Four Thousand Mondays, dedicated to ensuring people live life fully and without regret. In this conversation, we’ll explore why letting go of fear, the weight of others’ opinions, and the risk of rejection leads to more fulfilled living. Regret, we agree, is far scarier than failure. The truth is, we regret the things we don’t do more than the things we try and fail at. There’s a quote I love that says something like: when I stand before God I want to be able to say I used all the gifts I was given, I have not a bit of talent or love left, I used it all up. It’s a powerful reminder to live boldly, love deeply, and give generously.
