Welcome back First Gen Law Pod!

Rejection hurts — especially when you're the first in your family or community to break into the legal world. In this episode, we're getting real about the emotional weight of hearing "no" as a first-gen law student or attorney, and how to move forward with clarity, confidence, and resilience.

We unpack the unspoken pressure that comes with being a trailblazer and offers practical tools to help you reframe rejection not as failure, but as redirection. Whether you're navigating law school setbacks, bar exam disappointments, or missed job opportunities, this episode reminds you that rejection doesn't define your journey — it refines it.

✨ Rejection isn’t a red light — it’s a reroute.

Tune in and take your power back.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why rejection feels different for first-gen professionals
• How to manage the emotional and mental impact of “no”
• 5 strategies to overcome rejection and stay in the game
• Real listener stories that show the power of pivoting
