Being an accepted member of a group, also known as belongingness, is a human emotional need. It is also considered a significant source of motivation and one of Maslow's five human needs. However, when the necessity of acceptance intersects with the fear of suffering rejection, it can severely affect our growth and evolution.  

In this episode, we talk about what I feel is one of the cornerstones of growth: releasing what others think about us. We explore the "Rebecca Minkoff mindset," how powerful it is to remove our ego from the equation and go after our dreams, and why we shouldn't fear getting a thousand noes before reaching the first yes. We analyze how the need to be accepted impacts our actions, gets in the way between us and our goals and affects our personal and professional growth.
