Brutal truth: I\u2019ve experienced more professional rejection in 2022 than any other year in my 19 years of business.\xa0\xa0\n\nI\u2019m talking about this because no one talks about this side of growth, professional or otherwise.\xa0But, it is a very real and common experience when you decide to stretch yourself in new ways.\xa0\n\nRejection is often the result of an audacious act, a brave reach, or a leap into uncharted territory.\xa0Rejection comes on the backside of courage, determination, and vulnerability.\n\nIt\u2019s easy to feel beaten down, if not completely swallowed, by rejection.\xa0It\u2019s easy to overlook the fact that you stepped up to the plate in a bold way to say, \u201cI\u2019m here. I\u2019m ready. I can do this.\u201d\xa0\xa0\n\nIn the face of rejection, we typically say, \u201cI\u2019m not worthy\u201d, instead of, \u201cI was qualified for that and not getting it is not a reflection of my talent or worth.\u201d\xa0Or, \u201cI\u2019m really proud of myself for trying.\xa0Now I feel ready and even more prepared to go for something else big like this.\u201d\n\nI pitched myself for something I really wanted this fall.\xa0I was rejected.\xa0At first I was mad, even hurt.\xa0A few days after getting that NO, another opportunity - a better one - came up for the same time.\xa0I realized that NO was a gift and made space for me to pitch the same thing to an even better organization.\xa0\xa0\n\nIt\u2019s time we talk about rejection as a necessary part of growth instead of a quiet pool (ocean?) of shame.\xa0\n\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll walk you through how I\u2019ve been managing rejection as I uplevel and how you can do the same.\xa0\xa0\n\nLink mentioned:\nJoin my free workshop: How To Calm Your Chaos & Let Go of Your Crap: shamelessmom.com/calm\n\n\nSponsor info and promo codes:\n\nPlease find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
