EPI 166:What Are You Standing For? Rejection & Self-Confidence with Amy Wong
This life is a life of feelings. Each of us shows up to our day-to-day because we either feel a certain way or seek to change the status of our feelings. Either way, we are feeling our way through each moment. And, two actions that cause big feelings are rejection and self-confidence. While many believe feeling rejected comes solely from trauma, the most authentic understanding and operation of rejection is much deeper than that. With rejection, our self-confidence fades. With self-confidence, we take rejection for what it is, a teacher.
To go deeper in this understanding, I sat down with coach and author Amy Wong to take a deep dive into understanding our feelings, getting to the bottom of rejection, how to know what you stand for in your life, and we explore how you can own your self-confidence in a way that is not only long-lasting but is a true movement in your life.
It's a genuine conversation about life tools that will blow you away!
