Bonus 04: Why I Welcome Rejections

S1 Bonus Episodes.png

In today's bonus episode, I'm sharing with you a small part of a class I teach, Storytellers In Action.

In this class, we help womxn creators get a footing in the travel media space. But this class is about so much more than that. It's about dreaming big, working through our fears, and taking action. 

Today's discussion is focused on handling rejections. Oftentimes, the thing that stops us most from putting our ideas out there is the fear of rejection. There is an inherent vulnerability when we share something with others. Will they like it? Will it be good enough? We unpack all these feelings and fears in this bonus episode. I hope you enjoy it.
