A New Year's Resolution 5 Years In the Making, When Art Meets Risk

Listen in as Tahina Montoya, Georgetown’s Practitioner in Residence, navigates the tricky art of saying "no" while balancing a dance of opportunity and risk. Five years into her New Year’s resolution, Tahina is still mastering declines with grace. From her mom graduating college alongside her to deftly managing family expectations as a first-generation Colombian and Air Force officer, Tahina’s journey is as much about defining "yes" as it is about smart refusals. Dive into a candid chat about the pressures of always saying yes, the nuances of negotiation, and the calculated risks that propel us forward. Expect a hearty blend of life lessons, military humor (yes, she married Navy and he married up), and the wisdom that hard work—no matter the language—always resonates. Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even rethink your own "yes" and "no."
