82. Navigating the Fear of Rejection in Business

Let’s be honest—rejection is hard. And if you’ve ever been ghosted by a potential client after pouring your heart into a pitch, I see you. I’ve been there.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:-Why rejection is inevitable (and often not about you at all)-How I learned to reframe a "no" into valuable feedback-A powerful example from Myleik Teele (founder of CurlBox) on how rejection redirected her success-How I protect my energy and detach from outcomes in order to stay resilient and focusedPlus, I’m shouting out a phenomenal entrepreneur and homeschool coach who’s showing up with so much clarity and purpose.🌟 Featured Entrepreneur of the Week:This week, I’m celebrating Tracy Kelly—a homeschool coach and educator who’s just revamped her tutoring page, and y’all, it looks amazing.
