Podcasts by The YES Effect

The YES Effect

The YES Effect show features stories and interviews with some of the world’s most successful and inspirational people about how they overcame obstacles, doubts, fears and naysayers to accomplish massive dreams and impact the world. The difference between impossible and possible: saying YES.

Host Shelli Varela is a Story Alchemist, speaker, coach and author, and is no stranger to possibility hacking. Her remarkable journey from 108 pound manicurist to a 30 year career as her city’s first female Firefighter & Captain has been featured everywhere from TEDx, to Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine and a NYT Bestseller.

Shelli has since become obsessed with the power of the mind and in particular, the transformational power of the word YES.

The YES Effect is proof that everything YOU need to succeed and change the world is already inside you.
