Episode #232: How my Weight Loss Journey Prepared me for TEDx Rejections (TedX Story, 3 of 4)

Summary 

This week, I’m sharing part three of my TEDx journey, and the part that I believe matters most when you’re going after a big goal: what happens when you get rejected.

As an overachiever, rejection can feel like so much more than a simple “no.” It can quickly turn into questioning whether you’re good enough or whether the goal was ever meant for you in the first place. In this episode, I’m sharing what my TEDx rejections brought up for me, how my 60-pound weight loss journey prepared me for these moments, and the skill I believe every overachiever needs if they want to create a bigger life.
