# 47 The Rejection That Changed Everything


Listen Later

Rejection doesn’t just sting—it can wreck your confidence, cloud your judgment, and send you spiraling into self-doubt.
I know because I’ve been there.

This episode was inspired by a powerful listener question:
“Have you ever felt deeply let down by someone you admired?”

Whew. The moment I read it, I felt it in my gut.
So today, I’m sharing a story I’ve never told on the podcast before—and the exact mindset shift that helped me take my power back.

You’ll learn:

  • Why rejection feels so personal (and what to do about it)

  • The hidden reason we stay stuck in shame after a “no”

  • The science behind why wallowing can feel good… and how to break the cycle

  • My 4-step framework: MLB’s Rejection Survival Guide

  • This week’s Glow Work to help you move forward now—not six months from now

Whether you’re healing from a breakup, a job rejection, or just feeling unseen by someone who should’ve known better—this episode is your invitation to make peace with the pain and reclaim your momentum.
