In this episode of Journeys of Not So Ordinary People, Maya Carpenter suggest that rejection—though painful and inevitable—can become a powerful ally rather than an adversary. She emphasizes that the key lies in shifting our mindset: instead of internalizing rejection and allowing it to define us, we can use it as a springboard for growth. Maya outlines practical tools like acknowledging and processing emotions, expressing them (through writing or voice), practicing empathy both toward ourselves and others, and communicating the rejection when appropriate. She also highlights how leaders need to cultivate awareness of how their actions and communications might unintentionally reject or discourage others. Ultimately, the goal is to prevent rejection from becoming a constrainer of identity, and instead see it as part of the path forward.
