How to Stop Letting Rejection Define You (The Coaching Tool That Changed Everything!!)

from Powerful Stuff · host Meredith Baker

This week, I accidentally became my own client!After putting myself out there for an opportunity that felt exciting, I found myself caught in an old shame spiral. Despite years of coaching others through self-worth, confidence, and rejection, I noticed myself obsessing over someone else's response and making it mean something about me. In this episode, I share the surprisingly vulnerable experience that brought up old stories from my twenties, why major identity shifts can make us feel exposed again, and the coaching tools I used to move through it. We explore the difference between growth and rumination, how to stop outsourcing your worth to external validation, and a powerful exercise that helped me release the fear of rejection by writing myself the worst rejection text I could imagine. Whether you're navigating a career transition, motherhood, a creative risk, dating, entrepreneurship, or any season of reinvention, this episode is a reminder that rejection doesn't define you...what matters is the story you choose to tell next!
