How Do You Say, "I'm Just Not That Into You"?

from Recovery Rocks · host Recovery Rocks

Getting rejected is awful. But as Anna and Lisa discovered, rejecting someone isn't exactly a joy, either.Lisa talks about the first time she had to fire an employee, why she called her sponsor before and after the conversation and the Disney version of "you're fired." Anna shares the story of breaking up with a guy who responded by writing about her in Elle magazine—which, in hindsight, made it abundantly clear she'd made the right decision.What starts as a conversation about rejection turns into something much bigger: the realization that not everyone is your fit. Whether it's a relationship, a job, a sponsor or a sponsee, trying to force something that's wrong usually hurts a lot more than letting it go.And in Petty Resentments, Anna has a message for people who somehow manage to occupy three parking spaces with one car.In this episode:·       Why Lisa called her sponsor before firing someone·       The breakup that became an Elle magazine article·       What Disney employees hear instead of "you're fired"·       Why "rejection is God's protection" isn't just a cliché·       How recovery changes the way we think about saying goodbye
