Fear of Rejection Re-released

Episode 53 – Re-released: Episode 26 Fear of Rejection I Am Self-ish PodcastIn this re-released episode of the I Am Self-ish podcast, host Will Wright revisits one of the most quietly powerful themes he sees showing up again and again in his coaching work: fear of rejection.This is not the loud, obvious fear. It is the subtle kind that shows up as hesitation before speaking, confidence dropping under pressure, or choosing silence instead of saying what you really mean. Will reframes fear of rejection not as a confidence issue, but as stress responding to a perceived threat and taking control of the energy underneath the moment.Originally recorded as a personal reflection, this episode explores what rejection does to us internally, how it shapes our emotional responses, and why choosing yourself often happens without applause or validation from others. Will speaks to the experience of building quietly, questioning yourself, and continuing forward even when support feels absent.This re-release remains deeply relevant. It is an honest conversation for anyone who has felt themselves pulling back, shrinking, or doubting their voice during moments of uncertainty. The episode serves as a reminder that confidence is not about being fearless. It is about understanding your stress, reclaiming your energy, and choosing yourself anyway.Produced and Edited by Will WrightHost | Certified Life Coach and Stress Management CoachCreator of the I AM SELF-ISH [email protected]: @selfish.willlinkedin.com/in/selfish-willBe bold.
