67. My Program Launch Failed (So Let's Talk About Rejection)

In this solo episode, I’m getting honest about one of the hardest parts of being a dancer (and a human) - rejection. I recently launched a brand new mentorship program - and it totally flopped. So I’m sharing with you the process I used to coach myself through the disappointment and the lessons I learned along the way.

Key Points in this Episode:

• Why rejection doesn’t define your worth as a dancer or artist
• The hidden wins in experiences that don’t go as planned
• Common mistakes dancers (and entrepreneurs) make when putting themselves out there
• How imposter syndrome can sabotage opportunities - and how to push back
• Why you need to talk about your work way more than you think
• How to ask for feedback and what to do when you don’t get it
• Reframing rejection as redirection in your career and life

Tune in to talk through the emotions, the mindset shifts, and the practical lessons that can help dancers (and anyone pursuing a big dream) handle rejection with resilience.
