<p>My daughter asked to go inside a woman&#39;s house I had just finished a professional shoot at. My immediate instinct was absolutely not. That is odd and a bit much.</p><p>She got really upset. And knowing my daughter, really upset has only one destination. So I knocked on the door and asked. The woman said yes.</p><p>My daughter asked without knowing that asking can be scary. No history of rejection. No internal calculation of whether it was reasonable. Just the ask.</p><p>I have that history. And I am asking anyway.</p><p>In this episode:<br>→ Why children ask without fear — and what we lose when we stop doing the same<br>→ The difference between asking without evidence and asking despite it<br>→ Jia Jiang&#39;s rejection theory and what deliberately seeking no teaches you about the ask<br>→ What my children&#39;s unlimited asking has done to my own inhibitions</p><p>For the woman who has talked herself out of the ask before she has even opened her mouth.</p><p>This one might change that. 💛</p>
