Today I share personal stories of recent setbacks, the emotional toll of feeling misunderstood, and how rejection challenges our sense of who we are. Together, we'll explore the psychological response to rejection and uncover strategies to redefine what it means to us, build resilience, and move forward with empathy for ourselves.

Things We Discuss:

• How rejection impacts our self-worth and challenges our identity
• The brain's response to rejection: Why it feels like physical pain
• The psychology of self-sabotage and how we half-heartedly pursue opportunities
• Strategies to cope with rejection, including self-compassion and mindfulness
• Why it's important to accept the pain of rejection instead of suppressing it
• Practical tips for reframing rejection and using it as fuel for personal development
