About this episode

Ashley Leggs discusses overcoming the fear of rejection and the importance of asking for what you want in life and career.

If you’ve been holding back from going after a big goal because you’re afraid of rejection, this episode will change how you see the word no. Ashley shares her real time journey through the traditional publishing process and breaks down why rejection is not failure but proof that you showed up and participated. You will learn how to build resilience, separate your worth from outcomes, and develop the audacity required to ask boldly for what you want in your career, business, and life. Because you do not need fifty yeses to change your life. You only need one.
