What if rejection isn't a reflection of your worth, but simply part of the process?

In Episode 268 of Just Start: Get Visible, Jacqueline M. Baker explores one of the most difficult realities that comes with using your voice and pursuing meaningful work: rejection.

Inspired by themes from Episode 267 with Kat Calvin, this episode reminds listeners that visibility inevitably brings exposure, and exposure sometimes brings disappointment. Whether it's a missed opportunity, a declined proposal, or a dream that didn't unfold as expected, rejection is something every leader, entrepreneur, and changemaker will experience.

Rather than allowing rejection to define who we are, Jacqueline encourages listeners to view it as information that can help us grow, learn, and continue moving forward.

Listeners will learn:

Why rejection is a normal part of growth and visibility
How to separate feedback from self-worth
Why a "no" does not determine your value
How to learn from disappointment without internalizing it
Practical ways to build resilience after setbacks
Why continuing to use your voice matters, even when it isn't immediately received

If you've been carrying the weight of a recent disappointment or questioning whether you should keep going, this episode offers encouragement and perspective for the journey ahead.
