Show Notes: In a world that often celebrates perfection, many of us grapple with feelings of inadequacy, rejection, and the longing for belonging. On the way to BIG dreams there are often tables we are never invited to, doors that close right in our faces, and we already know we will have to endure "no" after "no" before we finally get the YES that will change our lives. In this episode of the Mary Marantz Show, I had the honor of sitting down with Tabitha Panariso, author of "Loyal in His Love: An Invitation to be Held by Jesus When Others Let You Go." Together, we delve into the complexities of chasing approval, confronting perfectionism as an armor of protection, and embracing the beauty of our imperfect journeys that are always right on time. In this episode you'll discover: *How our unseen rejection wounds shape everything we believe *That we are operating under a currency of confirmation bias: What we look for, we find *What it looks like to grieve the story you WISH you had *Why "resistance" is a truth teller *All the ways we abandon ourselves *Why belonging is wired right into us as humans for survival *Why the solution to rejection might in fact be MORE rejection *What we get so very WRONG about "Rejection is Redirection" *The importance of secure attachment and reparenting *and SO much more!
