If you’ve loved someone struggling with addiction—whether you’re still in the relationship or you’ve left—the fear of rejection can feel overwhelming. It’s not just about someone saying “no,” it feels personal. It feels like proof that you weren’t enough. But what if rejection isn’t what you think it is? In this episode, I break down how unhealthy relationships mess with your sense of self-worth, why rejection can feel paralyzing, and why avoiding connection isn’t actually protecting you—it’s keeping you stuck.

I’m in this with you, and I needed this reminder just as much as you do. Together, let’s unpack why rejection isn’t always personal, how to reframe it, and why connection is worth the risk.

Because the truth is? The right people won’t reject you. But you’ll never know that if you don’t take the chance.
