EP. 46 | The Worst Rejection You’ll Ever Face (And How to Avoid It)

Oct 22

What if I told you that the rejection you fear most isn't coming from other people?

Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid hearing "no." We don't send the email. We don't make the call. We don't start the business, ask for the promotion, or put ourselves out there—because we're terrified of being rejected.

But here's what nobody talks about: there's a type of rejection that's far more painful than anything the world can throw at you. And chances are, you're experiencing it right now without even realizing it.

In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson my late sister taught me about rejection—one that completely changed how I approach fear, failure, and putting myself out there. She faced constant rejection as a professional dancer, yet somehow, she never let it stop her. And what she understood is something that successful people like J.K. Rowling, Oprah, and Steven Spielberg all figured out too.

In this episode, you'll discover:

The two types of rejection we all face (and why one is guaranteed to keep you stuck)
What your fear of failure is really costing you
The one question that will change how you make decisions forever
Why the most successful people are also the most rejected people
How to finally stop playing small and start going after what you really want

If you've been holding back on something—whether it's a career move, a difficult conversation, or a dream you've been sitting on—this episode will shift everything for you.
