In this episode, we’re talking about something so many people struggle with but don’t fully understand: Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

If you’ve ever:

• Taken criticism really hard
• Felt like one comment ruined your entire week
• Constantly worried people are mad at you
• Needed reassurance in relationships
• Felt like rejection hits you way deeper than others

…this episode is for you.

We break down:

• What rejection sensitivity dysphoria actually is
• Why it’s often misunderstood (and mislabeled as ADHD)
• The brain science behind why rejection can feel so intense
• How this connects to anxiety, empathy, and attachment styles
• Why right-brain dominant, creative people feel this the most
• The link between rejection, shame, and fear of abandonment
• Why performers and artists often struggle with this deeply

We also get personal and talk about:

• Middle school rejection and how it sticks with you
• People pleasing and anxious attachment
• Being hyper-aware of others’ emotions
• Why some people “don’t care”… and others feel everything

This conversation is emotional, validating, and honestly healing — especially if you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive.”

You’re not crazy. There’s a reason your brain works this way.
