If you’ve ever been told no—to a pitch, a podcast request, a dream opportunity—or felt overwhelmed by a thousand unsolicited opinions, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Megan opens up about the rejections she faced early on when launching the Self StartHER podcast and business—and what she learned from every “no” along the way.
From being turned down by people she knew when inviting them onto her show… to getting ghosted after applying for summits… to navigating the noise of well-meaning advice from everyone and their mom—this episode will remind you that rejection isn’t the end. It’s just part of the story.
✨ What You'll Learn:
Why rejection doesn’t mean your idea isn’t valid
How to separate helpful feedback from distracting noise
The mindset shift that helped Megan keep going through early “no’s”
A 4-step toolkit to handle rejection and keep moving
How to stay committed to your vision when no one else sees it yet
If you're navigating the messy middle of building something on your own terms, this pep talk is your reminder to keep showing up anyway.
