Rejection literally hurts! We can feel the pain of rejection in our bodies, and the same areas of the brains that register physical pain become activated in situations of social rejection!

Whether it's from the loss of a job, a break-up, intentionally constructive feedback, the discontent of a partner or boss, or the 10th rejection letter we've received from potential publishers, rejection rarely feels good. But we can learn to use it to our advantage and not just bounce back, but bounce forward.

In this podcast, Kori and Joe share situations in their own lives that have felt like rejections. They discuss how we can learn to recover and respond skillfully, how rejection is evolutionary, why it's important to not put all of our eggs in one identity basket, and the concept of post-traumatic stress growth!
