39. How to Stay Motivated When Things Get Hard (and You're Facing Rejection)
Description
Let’s be real: it’s easy to feel positive when things are going your way.
But what about when you’re doing all the right things—and still feel stuck?
This episode is for the moments when the rejections pile up. When the silence in your job search gets loud. When life feels off and you need something to pull you back to yourself.
Today, I’m breaking down:
✔️ The subtle mindset shift that will immediately change your energy
✔️ Why “focusing on the gap” keeps high achievers constantly dissatisfied
✔️ What I learned from journaling nearly every day for two decades
✔️ The power of the “reverse gap” (and how to use it)
✔️ Why gratitude is not about toxic positivity—and how to use it to reconnect to your power
If you’ve been feeling like you’re behind, or like you're running out of time to get where you want to go—this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.
You’re not stuck. You’re just being redirected.
And your energy today can shape what comes next.
🎧 Listen now and journal your 3–5 wins after you do. I promise, your mindset will shift.
