That was really valuable to read! Thanks. I’ve been having a similar conversation but specific to dealing with RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) in ADHD. If rejection isn’t incredibly painful, someone can just play a numbers game without that personal cost. Hypothetically, if I put myself up for any/every opportunity, the chance of expanding my horizons is so much greater. But if it feels like a hazard to my whole identity to be rejected, I keep things small. I used to say I had a 100% record in job interviews and I’m only now coming to terms with how sad that is
Really loved reading this Jo. So much of that ‘stuck’ feeling rings true. Have felt it in the past and know I’ll feel it again! Good to have a reminder of how to not let
I think it's hard to distinguish the 'you' from your job title sometimes - I know I've felt this, especially being almost an imposter when I started my own business and just gave myself whatever title I felt like. Great leaps often have great landings, excited for this journey! ❤️🙏🏻✨
Life takes us to unexpected paths.. some great some horrific .. some with rivers so deep we need to be carried a while.. there is no shame is reaching out for help ..and it’s not a bad thing letting the Rivers of change choose our path ❤️
Just so interesting - I love substack posts and this honesty within them . Thank you Jo
