Podcasts about Rejection

Perhaps the deepest wound many people carry is not rejection itself, but the feeling of being fundamentally misunderstood.Rejection is something the mind can usually locate. It has a shape, a moment, a boundary you can point to and say “this is where it ended.” But misunderstanding is not like that. It does not always arrive as a single event. It tends to accumulate slowly, almost invisibly, across time. It appears in conversations that almost made sense but didn't quite land. In explanations that felt clear internally but came out distorted externally. In moments where you thought you were expressing something true about yourself, only to realize the person in front of you walked away with something slightly or sometimes completely different.

Written Off: Navigating Rejection and Faith in the Search for Love, Family, and Belonging (The Approved in Christ Series) by Lisa Phillips https://www.amazon.com/Written-Off-Navigating-Rejection-Belonging/dp/B0G2RHDXX7 Authorlisaphillips.net What if the pain that broke you became the doorway to your healing? Lisa Phillips grew up longing for her mother's love—yet faced rejection, emotional distance, and a parental wound that shaped her identity for decades. As a woman of faith, she later discovered that the hurt she carried was not the end of her story, but the beginning of God's restoration. Written Off is Lisa's powerful true story of navigating rejection, rediscovering her identity in Christ, and breaking free from the generational patterns that silenced her family for three generations. In this faith-filled memoir, you'll discover: How rejection shapes identity—and how God restores what was lost The spiritual roots of emotional pain and how truth brings freedom Faith-based tools to overcome shame, guilt, and family strongholds A compassionate path toward forgiveness, renewal, and inner peace Through raw honesty and biblical insight, Lisa reveals how God transformed emotional wounds into spiritual wholeness—and how you can begin that same journey, especially if you have faced rejection, abandonment, or painful parent–child relationships. Those who seek faith-based healing for emotional or generational trauma, or yearn to rebuild identity, belonging, and trust in God's redemptive love will find comfort and hope. Written Off is more than a memoir—it's an invitation to see your own story through the lens of grace. No matter who has written you off, God is already writing you back into His plan with purpose, freedom, and hope. Part of the Written Off series — a three-book journey from rejection to restoration.

Have you ever looked back at a decision and wondered, "How did I end up here?" I know I have, more than once.  The truth is, most of our biggest mistakes don't happen overnight. They begin with small compromises, quiet doubts, and a heart that slowly dritts. Lately, I've been hearing that word drifting everywhere, in conversations about marriages, friendships, parenting, health, and even our relationship with God. It seems that many of life's struggles begin not with one catastrophic decision, but with a slow drift over time.... This weekend in Cautionary Tales, we'll discover that every rebellion has a backstory. Through the stories of Scripture, we'll see how a misplaced affection, left unchecked, can slowly lead us away from the Lord, and why Proverbs 4:23 tells us to "guard your heart above all else." But the story doesn't end there. Through Jesus, every wandering heart can find forgiveness, restoration, and a fresh start. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

Send us Fan MailThere are some questions that reveal just how much pain a person is carrying.Not because the question is wrong, but because of what it takes to finally ask it out loud.What does it mean when someone has been sitting alone with this kind of weight — wondering, in their darkest moments, not just whether life is worth living, but whether God still wants them at all?In this episode of Just Nona, I am answering a heart question from Jessalyn, who is living with severe spine issues, depression, anxiety, and a recurrence of addiction — and is asking one of the most honest questions a person can bring to God:Can a struggle with addiction and suicidal thoughts be forgiven?Or am I not going to heaven?Before anything else — if you are struggling with thoughts of ending your life right now, please reach out. Call or text 988. Your life matters. And you do not have to carry this alone.This is not a theological lecture.It is a pastoral conversation about what grace actually covers — and what it does not require of you before it applies.We talk about:• Why chronic physical pain can affect the brain, mood, sleep, and emotional regulation• Why depression, anxiety, and addiction are not simply moral failures• The lie that God's acceptance is conditional on performance• What Romans 8:38–39 says about whether anything can separate you from God's love• The difference between salvation and sanctification• Why suicidal thoughts are not proof that you want to die, but often proof that you want pain to stop• Why needing help is not a failure of faith• The practical support someone may need when carrying addiction, depression, chronic pain, or suicidal thoughtsYou are not too far gone.You were never too far gone.Grace was not designed for the person who has it all together.

In this inspiring reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that rejection is a part of every human life. We may reject ourselves, reject others, or experience rejection from those around us. Beneath these experiences often lie emotional wounds that God invites us to acknowledge and heal.The homily challenges us to consider how the fear of rejection can keep us from embracing the truth. While the truth can be difficult and even offensive to those who resist it, Christ calls us to live in the truth with courage, humility, and love.Fr. Anthony also emphasizes the importance of repentance. When we sincerely repent of our sins and receive God's mercy in this life, we can face God's judgment with hope, trusting in His forgiveness and infinite love.May this reflection encourage you to embrace the truth, trust in God's mercy, and never allow the fear of rejection to keep you from following Christ."Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." – John 8:32 ★ Support this podcast ★

Rejection has a way of feeling bigger than the moment itself. A missed invitation. An unanswered text. A friendship that seems to be slipping away. An opportunity that goes to someone else. Even when we can understand why it happened, something inside us can begin telling a much older story: I'm not enough. I don't belong. This always happens to me. In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Alison shares a recent experience with rejection and explores why present-day disappointments often awaken wounds from the past. Drawing from Psalm 27, attachment psychology, and the healing practice she calls Recognize and Return, she offers a compassionate framework for tending the sting of rejection without letting it define your worth. You'll learn: Why rejection often activates emotional memories far older than the present moment How to recognize when today's hurt has become an old inner narrative Why logic alone can't heal wounded places inside us How self-compassion helps right-size present disappointments The difference between extending grace to others and abandoning yourself A practical practice for moving through rejection with God's loving presence Rejection may still hurt. But it doesn't have to become the story you tell about yourself. Healing begins when today's pain is allowed to be today's pain—instead of carrying every hurt you've ever known.

1 John 3:1 and the powerful truth that believers are deeply loved and called children of God. Our identity was never meant to be defined by a job, relationship, opportunity, or the approval of others. Rejection can leave us questioning our worth, but God’s love is not dependent on whether we fit someone else’s expectations. When we root our identity in Christ, we can make decisions from a place of confidence and obedience rather than fear, insecurity, or the desire to be accepted. Highlights: Discover the life-changing truth that your identity is found in being a beloved child of God. Learn how rejection and unmet expectations can challenge our understanding of our worth. Understand why fitting into someone else’s mold can keep us from embracing God’s unique calling. Be encouraged that God’s love and acceptance remain constant, even when circumstances change. Explore how confidence in Christ helps us make decisions based on faith rather than fear or approval. Remember that your value comes from God’s opinion of you—not the opinions or acceptance of others. Join the Conversation What areas of your life make you question your identity or worth?

Full Transcript Below: Live Confidently in Your Identity in ChristBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” - 1 John 3:1 You're not a fit. Those words stung as the church leader told us we were no longer a fit for the pastoral opportunity. After many interviews and discussions with church leaders, we mutually decided that we were not the best candidates to assume a pastoral role in their church. Although it was mutual and we knew this was true, those words still stung as a fresh wave of rejection hit us like the ocean's waves. As much as we knew deep down that we did not possess the skills or abilities they were looking for in their next pastor, we still wanted to be wanted. It was not easy to hear that someone else had been chosen over us. Whether it's the end of a romantic relationship, the termination of a toxic friendship, or the end of a lucrative job, the desire to be included and loved unconditionally is a basic need for every human being. As we pondered whether we had truly made the right decision, we knew what we were both thinking: we wanted to say yes because we were afraid of what would happen if we said no. Fear and money are not reasons to do something. Talking yourself into something because you're afraid of what it's like to be alone or to lose something is not a reason to do it. Talking yourself into something is like telling yourself you're not in a bad relationship. All the signs of abuse are there, but you choose not to see them. In the same way, we were trying to fit ourselves into a mold that didn't fit our gifts or abilities. God has wired each one of us with unique gifts that only we can use. No matter how much we try to be like someone else, we will never be exactly like another person. We can only be us, the person God has created us to be. The quicker we embrace that and solidify our identity in Christ rather than in our job or in our relationship, the happier we will be. The above reminds us that God loves us, whether we fit a particular mold. Whether we choose to acquiesce to others' expectations or not, our identity in Christ remains solid. Christ's death on the cross afforded us the grace and ability to access God whenever we choose. It also solidified our rank as his children and his chosen people. Because we are God's children, we are afforded an inheritance that will never spoil or fade. God wants us to live each day in the freedom of being God's children. He wants us to trust him and know that he is guiding every decision we make. Whether we ask God for direction on our next romantic relationship, next job, or how to navigate a difficult relationship, God's love and acceptance of us will never change. Do you live every day knowing that God loves you unconditionally? Do you find yourself talking yourself into situations because you want to be loved and accepted by others? Do you choose the right job or the right relationship—or choose to be single—even though you know you've lost, and loneliness will result? It takes someone solidified in their identity in Christ to not capitalize on a seemingly lucrative opportunity. However, the more we wire our brains to live in the freedom and liberty that has been afforded us through Christ Jesus, the better off we will be in every facet of our lives. It will no longer matter what people think of us if we don't have a relationship, we lose our job, or we lose a friendship. People's opinions no longer matter when we know whose opinion matters most. When we make decisions not out of fear or money, but out of obedience and true understanding of calling, that is a life well lived. Father, let us be people who live in the understanding of our identity in Christ. Let us live every day free to make decisions not based on fear or money, but out of obedience and a calling to you. Let us trust in you, knowing that you have ordered all our steps and will provide for our every need. Amen.

Thirty-five years ago, Sabine met an 18-year-old dancer in West Africa — talented, a little naïve, and not yet sure she belonged anywhere but the stage. In this episode, that young woman returns as Sabine's guest: Dorina Malcheva, now Artistic Director of MJ – The Michael Jackson Musical in Hamburg, Germany, leading a team of 34.It's a conversation that moves like a memory: the smell of the airport air, the fires along a dark road, the first show they ever built together in an African club. But underneath the nostalgia is a masterclass in becoming. Dorina and Sabine unpack the sacred whisper — that small voice that says "why not?" — and what it costs to actually answer it. They talk honestly about rejection (Vienna said no to both of them, years apart), about the Invisible Stage™ of unseen practice that makes the visible moment possible, and about the goodwill you quietly bank over a career until, one day, someone trusts you with the whole show.And in a world racing toward AI, they land on the one thing no algorithm can replicate: your story, told in your voice, on your stage.Whether you're a performer, an author, a speaker, or an entrepreneur ready to step into your spotlight, this episode is your reminder — try it on, keep going, and connect, connect, connect.Connect with Dorina on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dorinamaltschewa/Connect with Sabine: https://sabinekvenberg.com/resourcesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/SabineKvenbergIG: https://www.instagram.com/sabinekvenberg/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabine-kvenberg/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sabine.kvenberg.2025/ ⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters0:00 – Introduction 2:45 – Reconnecting after 35 years 5:30 – Inside MJ: The Michael Jackson Musical 7:50 – The lifespan of an artist's career 8:45 – Dorina's origins: raised among artists 11:25 – "It's a shame if you waste it" — Sabine's turning point 12:50 – The sacred whisper: trying life on like a dress 14:55 – Rejection, resilience, and refusing to quit 16:40 – Becoming a triple threat (and a triple threat entrepreneur) 19:30 – The Invisible Stage: the power of unseen practice 22:10 – Reinvention: stepping into artistic director 25:35 – Good vs. perfect and the goodwill bank account 27:45 – Into Africa: first impressions and open arms 31:15 – AI, connection, and the story only you can tell 36:00 – From the stage to the keynote stage 38:45 – Dorina's parting wisdom: connect, connect, connect

Actress and musician Simone Ashley joins Jay for an intimate conversation about navigating sudden global fame, redefining self-worth beyond career expectations, and letting go of societal timelines. Simone details her breakthrough journey from lockdown uncertainties to leading Bridgerton, how her mother taught her to love her skin and embrace cultural identity, and why stepping into music with her debut EP 'Songs I Wrote In New York' allowed her to access a raw, instinctual form of creative expression. Together, Jay and Simone dive into the crucial distinction between solitude and loneliness, how envy can slowly destroy friendships, and why finding a 'co-creator' in love means choosing someone who makes life simpler rather than more complex. If you're feeling behind in life or searching for the confidence to trust your own timing, this episode offers a heartwarming reminder that your path unfolds exactly when it is meant to.

Before becoming a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most widely read poets on Instagram, Nikita worked as a cleaner and carer while sharing her poetry online. She moved from New Delhi to Britain in her early twenties to study for a master's degree at the University for the Creative Arts, and felt she ‘disappointed' her parents and faced repeated rejection and misogyny in the process. In this episode, she tells Elizabeth about her unusual childhood at sea, growing up in places marked by contested borders, where bomb scares at school felt routine, and the many obstacles she faced throughout her career. She also reflects on the power of poetry to connect us, why myths still resonate today and how writing became both a form of resistance and survival.

He accepts this label with joy, noting that this state was not self-induced, but brought about by God's grace and the Guru, who destroyed all his worldly doubts.True Madness vs. Divine Wisdom: Kabir Ji redefines what it truly means to be foolish: a person is only truly "mad" if they fail to understand their own inner spiritual self. Once a person recognizes their true self, they see the One Divine Presence everywhere.The Imperative of Divine Love: He concludes that if one does not become absorbed and enraptured in God's love during this life, they miss the entire purpose of existence.

Lies of Rejection | Pastor Vern Martin | Grace Church PA by Grace Church

What separates the people who get stronger after a rejection from the people who stay stuck on it?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez drop the guest format for a one-on-one conversation, with Marc interviewing Ben about a piece he started writing on vacation. The trigger was an email from someone who prepared hard, didn't get the role, and said it was impossible not to take it personally. Ben explains why that reaction revealed the real subject was resilience, what he notices when debriefing candidates who bounce back versus those who don't, and why he tells people to transcribe their interviews rather than trust their memories.They explore the four ingredients Ben believes actually cultivate resilience, the one situation where sending a hiring manager more than a thank-you note can swing a decision, and the step-by-step protocol he runs when something falls apart, drawn from three layoffs, a long run of rejections before his Facebook offer, and a torn ACL.If you're coming off a rejection and trying to make sense of it, preparing for interviews and looking for a better way to debrief yourself, or just curious how two operators think about setbacks, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Bestselling and award-winning writers Seth Godin (The Practice), Amie McNee (We Need Your Art), Mason Currey (Daily Rituals) and Bec Evans & Chris Smith (Written) on choosing yourself before anyone else does, protecting the hour you actually have, and why the writing rules you were handed were the rules that worked for someone else.   You'll learn Why "grow a thicker skin" is the wrong advice for a writer facing rejection. What shifts when you notice the harshest rejection you face each day is your own. The case for lowering your standards if your ambitions are big. How an hour that doesn't look like writing can still be an hour of writing. What the word discipline shares with the word disciple, and why it changes how a project turns out. A quiet argument for half an hour a day over the perfect routine you can't sustain. Three questions worth asking at the end of every writing session. Why the writing rule that failed you was probably never yours to begin with. When a good outcome hides a bad decision, and what that means for your practice. The difference between talent and skill, and why only one of them applies to writing.

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!Is Withholding Intimacy Abuse In Marriage?Your wife keeps saying no—and somewhere online you read that makes it abuse. Before you run with that, there's a line most people get completely wrong.In Ep461 of The 'NEW' Marriage, Cass and Kathryn Morrow take a controversial listener question head-on: is withholding intimacy abuse in marriage—and what actually counts as "withholding"?Core reframe: not having sex is NOT the same as withholding, and saying no is NOT withholding. Most women who aren't having sex aren't punishing anyone—they are simply disconnected. Withholding requires a conscious, malicious intent to punish.Cass and Kathryn break down the entitlement trap behind the word "withholding," examine when emotional withdrawal and the cold shoulder cross into manipulation or abuse, and share how to stop diagnosing your spouse so you can actually rebuild intimacy.

Carlos Beltran confirmed the Mets approached him about managing, but his answer convinced Evan Roberts that he is waiting for the right New York opportunity. Evan predicts Beltran will manage either the Mets or Yankees next season, while Tiki Barber believes Beltran may be too comfortable in his advisory role to take the risk. The debate turns to Aaron Boone's future, the Yankees' past interest in Beltran and the unfinished business surrounding the Mets firing him after the Astros scandal. Evan also argues that Beltran's availability could push Brian Cashman toward a managerial change, while the crew examines whether lineup protection can actually be measured through the pitches Cody Bellinger sees without Aaron Judge.

Talking about faith can feel a lot like trying to offer someone a solution you know would help—only to watch them stare back with no connection at all. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore why that moment can be so discouraging, especially when the person already has negative impressions of Christianity, religion, or past faith experiences. The challenge is not just making a positive impression; often, it is gently overcoming a wounded or distorted one.Father explains that sharing faith should never feel like a sales pitch or a demand. The starting point is witness: *this is what Jesus has done in my life*. That approach gives the other person freedom. It also protects the conversation from becoming pressure, argument, or performance. A sincere testimony begins with humility, personal vulnerability, and enough self-knowledge to answer basic questions: Why do I follow Christ? What difference has He made? Why do I pray, worship, and try to live the moral life?The episode offers a practical structure for testimony: what life was like before, what Jesus did, and what life is like now. That story may be dramatic, or it may be a small recent change—more patience, more peace, more courage, more purpose. Joe brings in the relationship-building and sales lens: do not prejudge the person or assume their problem. Listen first. Learn what matters to them. Then share your experience in terms they can actually understand.**Key Ideas*** Sharing faith can be discouraging when people have prior negative experiences or assumptions about Christianity.* Witness starts with your own life: “This is what Jesus has done for me,” not “Here is what you need to do.”* Faith-sharing requires vulnerability because belief cannot be forced or scientifically proved into another person.* A useful testimony structure: **before Jesus → what Jesus did → what life looks like now**.* The best conversations begin with listening; speak in terms the other person can receive, without judgment or manipulation.**Links & References**None explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.**CTA:** If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Landing your first nursing job sounds straightforward after graduation—but for many new grads, the reality is far more difficult. In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, host Ann [BG1][CD2]sits down with Stella Leiken, a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), to talk honestly about what it's really like to enter the nursing workforce for the first time. Stella shares her journey from a psychology degree at UC Santa Barbara to an accelerated MEPN program, completing 192 hours of hands-on NICU preceptorship, and preparing to take the NCLEX. But the conversation quickly turns to something many nursing programs don't prepare you for: the search for that first nursing job. Despite an MSN, a strong clinical record, and glowing recommendations, Stella applied to nearly every NICU in California and was denied by all of them. She opens up about the emotional toll of repeated rejection, the nursing shortage paradox that leaves new grads competing fiercely for a shrinking number of residency spots, and why she made the decision to look out of state rather than settle for a specialty she didn't want. Her story is raw, honest, and relevant for any new grad nurse navigating today's competitive job market. Key Takeaways Don't settle for the wrong specialty. Taking a job in a unit you don't want just to get hired can make transitioning into your dream specialty later even harder. Start applying before you graduate. Some new grad residency programs close months before graduation. Others open applications for only 24 hours with no public notice. Networking matters. Stella secured her NICU preceptorship because she made a strong impression during her leadership rotation. Connections can open doors that applications alone cannot. Broaden your geographic search. If your local market is oversaturated, looking out of state can unlock opportunities and help you grow in unexpected ways. Protect your confidence. Rejection after rejection takes a real toll. Staying focused on your goal and leaning on your support system can make all the difference Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and why this episode is different 01:49 – Stella's background: from UCSB psychology to the USD MEPN program 03:08 – MEPN vs. ABSN: understanding the pathways into nursing 04:25 – The three-week boot camp that kicked off her program 07:54 – How preceptorships work and why specialty selection is so competitive 09:22 – NICU placement and the power of networking for new grad nurses 11:47 – NCLEX prep: how Kaplan and school support set Stella up for success 15:26 – The new grad job hunt begins, and why the timeline catches many off guard 18:37 – The nursing shortage paradox: high demand, fierce competition 19:03 – Applying to every NICU in California and facing rejection 21:10 – Looking out of state: Nashville, Georgia, Colorado, and beyond 26:43 – The emotional reality of repeated rejection 30:08 – Stella's advice: stay confident, don't settle, and go where the opportunity is 35:36 – Closing thoughts and words of encouragement for new grad nurses   Meet Our Guest, Stella Leiken Stella Leiken is a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN). She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from UC Santa Barbara before working in a private ophthalmology practice, an experience that confirmed nursing as her true calling. Through her MEPN program, Stella completed 192 hours of NICU clinical preceptorship across two semesters, gaining hands-on experience caring for critically ill infants. She is preparing to take the NCLEX and is actively searching for her first nursing role.

In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein explores the painful but universal experience of rejection — and how shifting our mindset around it can open doors to something even better. Traci shares the story of Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, who experienced years of rejection from investors and retailers and near bankruptcy before selling her company for $1.2 billion. Traci shares Kern Lima's strategies for staying sane and keeping on going despite rejection, as well as how Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements apply to thriving despite rejection.Tips for Navigating Rejection include:Reframe the "no" tDrop bitterness Guard your self-worth Audit your circles Shift "I have to" to "I get to" Don't take things personallyAvoid assumptionsPractice mindfulnessMove your body Zoom out Trust your pathResources MentionedWorthy and other books by Jamie Kern LimaThe Four Agreements by Don Miguel RuizTraci's Mindfulness Meditations album: https://tracistein.com/products/mindfulness-meditations-mp3-download

Most real estate agents do not fail because they lack another lead source. They fail because they quit before their work has enough time to produce a result. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down the pain threshold required to survive and grow in the 2026 real estate market. They explain why top agents interpret rejection differently, why the yeses are buried inside the noes, and why serious prospecting requires putting yourself in a position to hear no. You will learn how to use the five-no standard to measure productive lead generation, why agents abandon effective systems too early, and how easy-button marketing products can distract you from the real work of creating listings. Tim and Julie also explain why building your entire business on social media is dangerous, why human relationships are becoming more valuable, and how consistent follow-up can turn a slow season into a strong pipeline. This is a direct, no-fluff conversation about prospecting, perseverance, accountability, and building a real estate career that can survive difficult markets.

In today's episode I'm bringing you the Weekly Wrap, and I'm starting with a human design cheat sheet on aura mechanics, because the manifestor "repelling" aura gets a lot of bad press and I want to clear it up.Repelling isn't rejection. If you're a manifestor, your aura is doing exactly what it's meant to do: moving the people who aren't your people out of the way so you can inspire the ones you are here to inspire. I run through all five auras so you can feel the difference, from the magnetic pull of the generator and manifesting generator, to the deep seeing of the projector and why that gift is only yours to give when there is an invitation, to the curious, sampling aura of the reflector. If the original human design language has ever made you feel like there is something wrong with you, this one is for you.From there it is a proper wrap. I share a simple reframe from the mastermind about focusing on the shadow of your defined channels instead of trying to decondition everything. I invite you to look back at who you were ten and twenty years ago and really take in how far you have come. I get into Barbault's Basket, an astrological configuration some are reading as a relaunch after the contraction of the last few years. And I talk about why building business in alignment matters, and the shift from the masculine model to the feminine one.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxOTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

HT2684 - Feeling Futile I don't know an artist who doesn't feel, from time to time, a touch of futility. An image fails to live up to our wishes. We look at that stack of unsold photographs diligently stored in our closets. Rejection from publication — this could be a lengthy list, indeed. It's at these times when I try to remember why I do photography: for the experience, not the results. In this regard, photography is more a hedonistic relation to life than it is a means of manufacture.

What if your fear of success is actually a fear of being seen? Today, Sarah sits down with multidisciplinary artist and writer Maya Mackrandilal for an intuitive reading exploring the fear of visibility, the wound of being misunderstood, and the ancestral patterns that can keep us from fully expressing ourselves. Through tarot, somatic practices, and compassionate inquiry, Sarah and Maya uncover what happens when we begin meeting our protective parts with curiosity instead of judgment. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why the fear of success is often rooted in the fear of being truly seen How childhood experiences of being misunderstood can shape your creative life Why rejection can activate protective parts of ourselves and how to work with them compassionately How ancestral patterns can influence visibility, creativity, and self expression A gentle somatic practice for working with the parts of yourself that hold fear Why learning to truly see yourself is the first step toward allowing others to see you too If you're navigating a season of transformation, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that your greatest gifts often live beyond the fear that holds you back. --- More on Maya: Maya Mackrandilal is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose practice spans performance, sculpture, video, and text. Her work investigates themes of ancestry, identity, and the body as a site of memory and transformation, with presentations in the U.S. and internationally, including India. Alongside her artistic practice, she is a tarot reader and spiritual practitioner, integrating intuitive insight with creative expression.
