001 Rejection Brought Me Here

Join host LaShawnda McLaurin for this special first episode as she shares her vision for the Inspiring Women Weekly Podcast and expresses her passion for helping women overcome one of their toughest adversaries: Rejection! Learn how rejection has shaped her life and catapulted her career. Most importantly, learn why you should embrace it and inspire others to do the same.

Rejection! It has not been easy to deal with rejection, but through the years, rejection and I have become friends. And now, I embrace it!

During this episode I discuss how rejection is one of the things that has lead me to this point in my life. Sounds crazy, huh? But hear me out.  In this episode I tell you my personal stories (yes plural) of rejection and how because of those incidences I was lead to start my counseling and coaching practice and launching this podcast!

Here are a few things to think about as you shift your view of rejection:

1.      Rejection is not failure.

2.      Everyone faces rejection.

3.      Rejection means it’s time to reroute.

4.      There is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about!
