Rejection Reframed: Finding Strength in the "No"

In this episode, I’m opening up about something we all face but rarely talk about—rejection. I recently went through an experience that shook me, but instead of letting it define me, I chose to learn from it. I'm sharing how I shifted my mindset, found power in reflection, and discovered that a "no" can actually open doors to something even better.

I’ll talk about the importance of pressing pause—especially if you’re constantly in go-mode—and why self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. I’m also encouraging you to do something simple but powerful: make a list of your wins. Sometimes, we need that reminder of who we are and what we’ve already overcome.

This episode is for anyone navigating a setback, looking for clarity, or just needing a little boost to keep going. I’ve been there—and I want you to know, you're not alone, and the journey ahead is still yours to claim.
