There They Go Canceling Sold Out Tours – P!nk & Meghan Trainor

What are you too afraid to cancel that you know you need to? 👀 In this episode of There She Goes, I break down the unexpected cancellations of P!nk and Meghan Trainor’s concerts and the powerful lesson behind them. This episode isn’t really about concerts, it's about what it looks like to choose yourself publicly. Even when:  ✨ money is on the line  ✨ people are watching  ✨ expectations are high  ✨ disappointment is inevitable I LOVE the example these women are setting.  Instead of:  • running themselves into the ground  • pleasing everyone  • sacrificing values for optics  • forcing continuation because money is involved They:  • Canceled sold out shows.  • Canceled entire tours in the midst of a new album release. Simply because it no longer aligned.  No apologies.  That is self-led leadership ✨ 🎧 In this episode, we talk about: • What successful women can teach us about changing plans • The fear of disappointing people when you choose yourself • How identity and self-worth can get tied to your career • Why “being nice” and staying small keeps you stuck • The hidden cost behind every “yes” you say • What you might be avoiding canceling in your own life 💭 Let me ask you: What are you too afraid to cancel that you know you need to? What fear is keeping it alive? And what freedom might be waiting on the other side of that decision? Are you afraid of: • disappointing people? • looking flaky? • losing money? • missing out? • being judged? • admitting you’ve changed? • letting go of the version of you that said yes? Maybe the next level of your life isn’t asking you to add more.  Maybe it’s asking you to release what no longer belongs. ⏱️ Timestamps 1:20 The canceled concerts: P!nk + Meghan Trainor 2:00 Why these artists inspired There She Goes 5:15 P!nk canceling a sold-out show 6:20 Choosing alignment over money and expectations 7:30 Choosing yourself publicly 8:20 Meghan Trainor canceling her entire tour 9:10 Motherhood, priorities, and capacity 10:00 What are you afraid to cancel? 10:45 Naming your real fear 11:40 Conditioning: be nice, stay small 12:20 Every yes is a no to something else 12:55 Reflection + your next step Follow @thereshegoesclub [https://www.instagram.com/thereshegoesclub] for updates and community events.
