<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are currently in a five-day ‘pause’ here in Las Vegas due to COVID, but I'm super stoked to be back, and I really hope that you are doing well. Today's I want to talk to you all about rejection - a topic that comes up a lot in my coaching. When we are pursuing big goals, some stuff might just not happen for us, so rejection is a natural part of the process and it's essential to handle it well. It's so important to realize that rejection is something that happens to everybody, so let's dig into it together today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I start by discussing how people react towards rejection, why some come back stronger, grow, and become better while others suffer from it, and how you should never let rejection hold you back.

I also touch upon the reason why rejection stings, and convey encouragement that it can build character in the long run. We finish up by reviewing the five ways to move through rejection, as well as the importance of mantras and affirming messages.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And, as always, if there is ever a topic you would like me to discuss, a guest you'd like me to interview on the podcast, or feedback you wish to offer, please feel free to contact me at</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">pr@kellytravis.net</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- I would love to hear from you!<br /> <br /></span></p> <p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why some people grow with rejection while others suffer</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The evolutionary reason behind the hurt from rejection</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></li> <li style="font-we
