My Rejection Story

Alice Draper: Regret Minimization during Uncertain Times


Listen Later

What do you do when business slows down, your confidence wavers, and you're tempted to disappear?


In this solo episode, Alice gets real about what it looks like to keep showing up in uncertain time, not because things feel easy or clear, but because she’s learned how to minimize regret, even when momentum stalls.


She shares the mental tug-of-war between self-protection and putting yourself out there, how internal rejection creeps in when you're not paying attention, and the one mindset shift that helps her stay in motion, even when fear tells her to pause everything.


If you’re wondering whether it’s worth it to keep showing up, this episode is for you.


In This Episode, Alice Covers:

  • The invisible cost of hiding when things feel hard

  • Why perfectionism is just rejection in disguise

  • The regret minimization strategy she uses in business (and life)

  • The power of internal rejection—and how to spot it before it stalls you

  • How to get back in motion when everything feels uncertain

    Questions to ask yourself before hitting pause
