SPEAKER_01 1:22

My story really starts with me focused on building the life that I thought I wanted. I'm focused on my career, focused on creating the relationships and the friendships that were important to me, and really felt that I was living my life full out. But what I didn't realize is that I was putting so much stock into the external that I wasn't really focused on the internal and what that actually looked like for me. So we were wind back a few years ago. I was in the middle of building my career, working through some pretty cool companies and climbing the corporate ladder in a way that felt like this was what I was supposed to do. I actually found myself in a role leading individuals, building things from scratch, making an impact internally, and then waking up the next morning with a rejection note saying that, hey, you've been laid off and we don't need your services anymore. And that was just the catalyst from that. It felt like rejections just started to compound from that moment. I was experiencing rejections in my friendships, rejections, of course, putting out job applications, rejections also within my relationships, too. My romantic late relationship at that time concluded, and that felt like the largest slap in my face because that compounded on every single, every other thing, too, that my life was kind of falling apart. From there, I really had to go on a journey of understanding who I actually was at my core. I spent a lot of time with God trying to understand why all this had to happen at the same time. What did it have to happen to me? I spent time with coaches understanding my values and who I was at my core. And on that journey of self-discovery, I started to reframe my mind on rejection. And I started to recognize that I wasn't rejected, my offer was. How then it applied to my romantic relationship? Is I started to see even me being a part of that relationship was an offer. I offered companionship. I offered support and peace and joy. I offered a strategic partner. I offered to be a person to that person. All of those were offers inside of that romantic relationship. However, it wasn't what they wanted. I was told no. And again, since I was able to build that reframe of I wasn't personally rejected, my offer was. And all that is available on my website, tanishalmoody.com. Or you can follow me on social media if you want to share your latest rejection with me. I'm happy to celebrate and help you see the gift of that no, if it's something of interest.
