219. Embracing Rejection with Alice Draper

from The Opposite of Small Talk · host Danielle McCombs & Kristy Olinger

Most of us shy away from rejection because we see it as a personal failure or a sign, we're not good enough, but what if rejection holds the key to unlocking your true potential? Today's guest, Alice Draper, a writer turned rejection advocate, reveals how deliberately seeking and experiencing rejection can transform your life in exciting ways including drastically boosting confidence, sharpening skills, and even transforming other areas of life, from dating to entrepreneurship. In this eye-opening conversation, Alice shares her personal rejection challenge: intentionally pursuing 100 rejections in a year and tracking every "no" in a spreadsheet. What she discovered will change how you approach failure forever.  Guest's website: https://hustlingwriters.com/                           Podcast Pitch Template - Hustling Writers  **Get the new Big Talk Questions – Starter Pack** Work with Danielle: If you are ready to start working with a life coach or just want to learn more about the impact that coaching can have in your life, visit Danielle's website at www.daniellemccombs.com and schedule a complimentary exploratory session.
