Hi Family,

Have you been rejected lately?

When I began my job search in the US, I faced a barrage of ghosting and rejection. I couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong with me. Despite having a PhD, years of experience, coaching, and networking, landing a job seemed impossible. It left me feeling disappointed and confused.

After taking a breather, I returned with renewed determination. However, during interviews, I found myself discussing roles I didn’t truly want—they felt limiting. I had numerous strengths and skills; these jobs were merely stepping stones. Surprisingly, I hadn’t realized the extent of my savings and investment growth.

So, I turned to fasting,  prayer, and spiritual guidance resolving to pursue my dreams. I sent my son to stay with his aunt in Florida, while my husband worked upstate four days a week. With newfound focus, I wrote a book in just one month.

Feeling inspired, I decided to start a blog, a dream I’d harbored for years. Despite doubting my abilities, I stumbled upon a helpful YouTube video. Within a week, my blog was accidentally launched—or was it? I grappled with self-doubt and struggled to find my writing rhythm. Yet, both the book and blog laid the groundwork for my aspirations in consulting and life coaching, despite initially feeling insignificant.

I constantly questioned myself as others ignored, gossiped, and lied about me. But I remained steadfast, trusting that God was guiding me, even when the path was unclear. I’m grateful for every rejection; they steered me towards my life’s purpose. I refuse to shrink myself—I’m capable of achieving everything I’ve ever wanted, and I continue to evolve.

Thank you, rejection, for pushing me towards my true calling!

Have you faced rejection? How did you navigate it?

Be blessed!
