When putting yourself out there, rejection is inevitable. But here’s a reframe you might need to hear: YOU are not being rejected. It’s only your OFFER that is being rejected.
Tanesha Moody was, at one point, drowning in rejection from every direction, from job applications to dating apps to her own friendships. Instead of retreating, she got curious and discovered the transformative power of separating rejection from yourself.
Today, Tanesha is a speaker, writer, and founder of Full Out Coaching, and she’s got amazing insight about how this simple reframe can impact how you show up and live your life.
Honestly, this conversation came at exactly the right moment for me. Sure, sometimes friends do reject core parts of who we are, but more often, they just reject a dinner invitation or don’t respond how we hoped they would in a text message. In some cases, rejection can bring people together and should be celebrated; after all, rejection is evidence that we tried.
In this episode you’ll hear about:
- Tanesha’s experience facing rejection from multiple aspects of her life, including job applications, dating apps, and friendships
- Reframing rejections as a step not a stop; a rejection is not necessarily to you but to the offer you made
- How Tanesha seeks rejection daily, plus, the benefits of rejection, including building resilience and fostering growth
- Using rejection parties as a way to celebrate and learn from rejection and build community
