In this “Lessons” episode, Nona Jones, resilience expert, teaches you how to transform rejection into growth using her four-step OPEN framework: first Observe the automatic “talk track” thoughts and feelings that surface after a setback; then Pause to create the space—through prayer, meditation, or simple reflection—to prevent reactive spirals; next Explore what the rejection reveals about your beliefs, expectations, or relationships so you can reframe it as a learning opportunity; and finally Name your next intentional action, turning insight into momentum and making your personal narrative your greatest strength.
