Episode Summary

In this episode, we’re talking about rejection—the kind that comes from people, missed opportunities, and even ourselves.

Sometimes we’re rejected by family, friends, relationships, jobs, or opportunities. Other times, we’re the ones holding ourselves back because we’re afraid of hearing “no.”

But rejection does not define your worth.

Through Psalm 27:10 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, we’ll explore how God’s acceptance is greater than any rejection we may face. We’ll discuss why God’s grace is enough, why some closed doors are protection, and how God can use our weakest moments to reveal His strength.

Remember:

Rejection may be part of your story, but acceptance by God is your identity.

Have you ever almost talked yourself out of something before you even began? That’s exactly where this episode starts and exactly where too many of us stay stuck.

In this very first episode of Girl You Got This, Alexis gets real about the war that happens in our minds before we ever take a single step toward something new. From starting a business to writing a book to launching a podcast; the negative what-ifs come fast, they come loud, and if we’re not careful, they come final.

Alexis shares openly about nearly giving up on this podcast before it started and the faith-rooted mindset shift that got her here anyway.

In This Episode:

• Why your brain automatically goes negative before something new and how to rewire that pattern

• The real reason most women stay stuck (hint: it’s not other people)

• How to stop tricking your nervous system into believing failures that haven’t happened

• Why your obedience to your calling matters more than your readiness

• The one question that will reframe your fear into forward movement

Scripture:

Psalm 139:14 – I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
