Heartbreak 💔, a Broken Leg 🦴… and a Comeback: Isabel MV on Stopping Self-Rejection and Rebuilding Confidence | Rejection Rehab Ep. 11

When life breaks you—literally and emotionally—how do you put yourself back together?

In this Rejection Rehab episode, EMMY winner Dr. Tom sits down with Isabel MV—ex-investment banker turned VC specialist and creator of the podcast And Just Like That, We Found Therapy—who hit rock bottom after breaking her leg and a brutal breakup. She explains how self-rejection crept in (“I’m not good enough”), the moment she drew a line, and the concrete moves that rebuilt her confidence:

Naming self-rejection and dropping the victim script
Setting boundaries (in love and at work)
Choosing space to heal, journaling, and returning to the rituals that make you you
Launching a show that reframes Sex and the City storylines through real relationship psychology

If you’ve ever lost yourself in a relationship—or to someone’s criticism—this conversation is a roadmap from people-pleasing to self-respect.
