Summary
In this episode, I talk about how important it is to know the truth about rejection as we pursue what’s next. Hint: It’s not about you. We have to remember that we are dealing with broken systems and not make rejection mean something that it’s not. We have to give ourselves permission to grieve and also understand the stories we are telling ourselves. Tune in to view rejection differently and get tips for how to bounce back stronger. 02:46 Why Rejection is So Hard 04:49 The Broken System 09:29 Shifting Your Energy: The Key to Overcoming Rejection 14:26 Practical Steps to Shift Your Vibe 22:26 The Power of Narrative: Defining Your Own Reality 24:23 Keep Moving Forward Links and Resources: Tosca’s Website Get in Touch with Tosca {9:53} “Some questions to ask yourself as it relates to your energetic vibe is: Are you showing up to interviews in resentment? Are you hitting submit on applications while you're in resentment and in a bad mood? Are you unattached to the outcomes or are you grasping on to like control of what the result will be from these conversations, interviews and these applications? Are you operating out of desperation or out of a pure desire? Are you open to possibilities or are you only seeing one pathway to landing an opportunity?” {18:27} “Have you been playing by somebody else's rules or are you honoring what works for you and what your superpowers actually are? When we're playing our game, we're going to win. When we're playing other people's games, it's a heck of a lot harder. So whatever that question means to you, run with it and explore it.” {24:34} “It doesn't matter how many times you fall down, it matters how many times you get up. So I'm here cheering you on to keep on getting up. Keep on putting yourself out there. Keep on trusting that Divine timing is at play and it's going to work out for you. Rejection is protection. If it didn't work out, it means it wasn't for you. I also believe that what's meant for you won't pass you by. So trust in that. Trust that there's something bigger out there looking out for you. And your path is your path. Enjoy it as much as you can. Find the levity in it wherever you can. Give yourself permission to laugh and have fun and let me know how it's going.”
