What would happen if you said yes more often - even when it meant moving across the country in a week, starting over, or walking into a room where you know absolutely no one?

In this episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Brittany Kaplan, founder of BK Media Strategies, whose career has taken her from "Camp CNN" to Entertainment Weekly, Madison Square Garden, and now her own media strategy company.

Brittany has moved cross country seven times, launched shows, built high profile partnerships, and led celebrity and influencer relations at some of the biggest brands in media and sports. But what stands out the most is how she did it: by saying yes, working hard, and being willing to be uncomfortable again and again.

We talk about:

• How she got hired at CNN before graduation and why her dad told her to be "a big fish in a small pond"

• What it really took to say yes to opportunities that required moving in a week

• Why she does not believe women were actually set up to "have it all" - and how things are starting to course correct

• The power of mentorship and the story of one news anchor’s phone call that changed how she leads

• How to stand out early in your career by being helpful, curious, and always raising your hand

• Why confidence does not mean knowing everything and how she works with clients as the expert in media, not in their business

• How to put yourself in uncomfortable rooms and be proud of yourself just for showing up

If you have been feeling stuck, craving a change, or intimidated by the idea of putting yourself out there, this conversation will make you feel less alone and more equipped to move.

Your next level of leadership does not come from having it all figured out. It comes from saying yes, one uncomfortable step at a time.
