Rejection hurts—until you learn to use it. In Episode 24, I read a fresh rejection letter and walk you through the mindset I use to turn “no” into fuel. We talk about why resentment slows your growth, how to re-channel that energy into your studio practice, and the slippery slope from one “no” to self-rejection. You’ll learn a simple reframe (“Good. Thank you.”), how to avoid the ouroboros of self-limiting beliefs, and why your job is to keep applying, keep creating, and make your work irrefutable through volume and devotion. If a juror passes, bless them—and put the freed-up time into the next canvas, the next application, the next opportunity.
