If I was eating NO's for breakfast, I'd send another 15 email introductions to talent agents asking for a meeting and discuss potentially partnering for representation.
Last week I got a NO from one. It cut me in half.
But in this moment my mojo is back. UGHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS! Thanks Aransas!!!!!
thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this powerful moment from the event forward. oof! if i can add to it: something you offered me in a coaching session, aransas, was the lens of alignment, not worth, when it comes to all things rejection and i've been carrying that with me AND it's still so tough to keep going when there's silent rejection.
SO! i'm going to courageously follow up with a couple ghosted messages, do a fresh outreach for my More Sidewalks sweatshirts this week, and be extra gentle with me.
YES to all of this — the follow-ups, the fresh outreach, AND the extra gentleness. That last one is the hardest for most of us and thus the one that asks for the most reinforcement.
And I love that you named it so precisely: silent rejection opens so much more space for the lifetime of judgment stories we’ve collected from ourselves and others. But alignment puts us back in the driver’s seat.
Guess what! I did it. I submitted all the information and my book will be featured in an online magazine next month and June. I will keep you posted. Go me! 🎉
This is precisely why I self-nominated to be on your podcast last year! Waiting in the shadows, hoping to be seen, acknowledged, etc. is a thing of the past! Hopefully.
When it comes up in my spirit, I have my big bold move episode to remember and push any fears down.
Oh my goodness!! I couldn’t possibly love this more. I love hearing all the ways you pull yourself out of comfort and into new bravery territory— and your threshold has gotten so high through these continual reaches.
OMG I love this prompt. I love this conversation.

Yessssss!!!! Let’s eat the whole damn box of no’s for breakfast, pour all of our milk on it, and then make cereal milk ice cream like Christina Tosi.
