3 Frameworks & 5 Action Steps to Overcome Your Fear of Rejection For Good

What if I told you that your self-doubt is the silent killer of your dreams? After achieving everything I thought I wanted—the accolades, the recognition, the external markers of success—I still felt angry, frustrated, and empty inside because I wasn’t getting the feeling of happiness or validation I truly craved. In this solo episode, I’m sharing the three frameworks that completely destroyed my fear of rejection and helped me stop living for other people’s approval. These are the exact mental shifts that taught me to build real courage and finally love myself enough to know that no rejection could ever take away my worth.

Some Questions I Ask:
