Rejection stings. It’s personal, it’s painful, and it can leave you questioning whether you’re good enough. But here’s the truth: rejection isn’t a dead end — it’s data.
In this episode, I share the rejections that shaped my career (and nearly broke me), and how I reframed them into lessons, resilience, and growth. From missed gigs to failed auditions, every “no” carried a hidden “next step.”
✅ Why rejection hurts so much — and how to take back control
✅ The hidden reasons you might get turned down (that no one tells you)
✅ How to turn setbacks into setups for future success
✅ Practical steps to reframe rejection as feedback, not failure
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I just not good enough?” this episode will change how you see rejection forever.
👉 Listen now to Episode 198: Rejection Redefined and let’s rewrite the story together.
