Default to YES! Your Extraordinary Self
Default to Yes: Think Like a Nurse is for women over 40 who are ready to get curious about their health, question the noise, and let go of the pressure to get everything exactly right.
So you can stop spending so much of your life trying to fix yourself—and get about the business of what you are meant to be about.
Juli Reynolds—a nurse, nurse coach, and lifelong believer in asking better questions - learned that clarity rarely comes from having more information. It comes from knowing how to make sense of the information you already have.
Here, we take the critical thinking, curiosity, science, and whole-person perspective of nursing and apply it to the health and wellness questions women are navigating every day.
Instead of telling you what to think, I’ll help you learn how to think about it.
Together, we’ll Notice, Narrate, Nurture, and Navigate—looking at the evidence, understanding what it can and cannot tell us, asking better questions, and considering what actually makes sense for you.
Because Default to Yes is ultimately about saying yes to your extraordinary self.
Less second-guessing. Less self-judgment. Less energy spent trying to do health perfectly.
More curiosity. More clarity. More creativity. More trust in your ability to learn, adapt, and make informed decisions.
So you can stop spending so much of your life trying to fix yourself—and get about the business of what you are meant to be about.
Stay curious. Think like a nurse. And Default to Yes.
