299. Why Did I Want That So Bad?

About this episode

Tamara discusses the lessons learned from rejection and how it can lead to healthier paths.

Have you ever looked back at something you wanted so badly and realized God was actually protecting you? In this episode, I talk about rejection, closed doors, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes I was trying to force things that simply did not fit. This episode is for anyone struggling not to take rejection personally, grieving something that did not work out, or learning that not every closed door is punishment. I talk about tying rejection to worth, romanticizing potential, forcing alignment, and how hindsight can reveal that what felt painful in the moment was actually redirection toward something healthier.
