Rejection stings, it's a blow to the ego, and it can sometimes make you feel unworthy in this world. But, rejection is also redirection. Redirection into a better path of life you're meant to be on. It's a protection from the universe whispering in your ear "I have something better in store for you than this." Trusting the timing of your life can sometimes be challenging, but when you do, it can be so freeing. Today's episode of Partnered to Single, I will share some personal stories of rejection and what those redirection shifts are in order to support you and remind you that you are never alone, and that there is something better for you coming. You're meant for even more than you could imagine, and I can't wait to open up a conversation with you about it!

Love you all, xo

Today's episode was inspired by two of my dear friends. Kaya and Shea who continuously provide me with insightful knowledge every time we connect. As we're in our last month of 2025, I remind you all that this year was a year of discovery and growth, and 2026 brings new opportunities to step outside of that comfort zone in order to achieve dreams. Being comfortable and staying the same is easy, so allow yourself to be uncomfortable, to be challenged and pushed because you have all the tools it takes to succeed. It starts with you.

Do you feel like you're a chronic people pleaser? Do you ever feel guilty for putting yourself first because you are so used to putting others before your own wants and desires? Well, you aren't alone. Today we unpack a personal experience from the last week of my life where I was a people pleaser and neglecting what my initial boundary was in the situation. People pleasing, while we feel as though we are doing right by others, ultimately instills a belief that we don't deserve to put ourselves first.

We'll open up a conversation as to some of the harmful effects of people pleasing and also ways in which we can stop chronic people pleasing. Please remember that you can still be a kind and generous person while also saying no to what doesn't serve you.

Welcome back to part 3 of: Reminders for Your Soul. In this little series, we’re slowing down and reconnecting with what truly matters - you.

We'll explore how embracing who you are is your greatest superpower, why it’s never too late to forgive yourself and others, how procrastination drains your energy and time more than trying does, trusting your inner voice and allowing yourself to be, and the beautiful truth that it’s always okay to begin again.

If these reminders speak to you, please share this episode with a loved one who may need their soul nurtured too.
