RISE UP: The Truth About Rejection - Why It Hurts And How To Reframe It

Rejection is one of those experiences that no one escapes, yet it always seems to cut so deeply. Whether it’s in love, friendship, or your career, that moment of being turned away can feel personal, painful, and even overwhelming. In this episode, Roxie gets honest about her own history of feeling rejected and how those stories shaped her self-worth for years.

But this isn’t just about pain; it’s about change. We share the psychology of why rejection activates the same part of the brain as physical pain, and then takes you through the powerful mindset shifts that allowed her to stop seeing rejection as a reflection of her value and start experiencing it as redirection, protection, and even an invitation to grow. Along the way, she’ll show you how to rewrite the story you tell yourself, how to see rejection as a sign of courage, and how to build resilience so that the next “no” doesn’t knock you down.
