Rejection Is A Friend Of Mine

Today’s episode is one that hits deep—we’re talking about rejection, loneliness, and how those experiences can leave us guarded, jaded, and questioning everything, even when something good finally comes along. If you’ve ever felt like you're stuck in your own head, constantly second-guessing yourself or pushing people away before they get too close. Rejection stings. Whether it’s from family, friends, relationships, jobs—whatever—it leaves a mark. You downplay your emotions. You sabotage something good before it has the chance to hurt you first. Rejection steals he best of who I am by reinforcing the worst of what's been said of me." -Lysa Terkeurst
