"Now that I'm older, I truly think about it differently. Every single rejection you get, I have learned, if you listen and observe carefully without all the defensiveness and the ego getting hysterical, it can unlock amazing doors for you." - Kathy Caprino

Rejection, both from others and from inner selves, is a common issue faced by the many thousands of women I have heard from and worked with. This is why in this episode of Finding Brave, I talk about the different aspects of rejection and how we can handle it in a way that fuels and expands our success.

How you handle rejection will directly determine the degree to which you can reach your goals. I recently posted a image with this quote on LinkedIn, and it's resonated with many folks, with over 55,000 views and 1,100 likes in just a few days.

It may be hard to believe sometimes, but rejection can and will lead to amazing success if you approach it the right way. Today I share my own personal, and often painful, experiences around being rejected, and I share 5 positive lessons that rejection can offer that can fuel your success, rather than demoralize you.

As always I would love to hear how this episode has resonated with you, and I welcome your suggestions for any future topics or interviewees that you're interested in.
