The Rejected Podcast

Copywriter Maria Nazdravan of Ogilvy UK started drawing about rejection on Instagram, then talking it out in a podcast.

Ultimately, what I want to achieve is to start changing the way our brains jump to interpret rejection. And part of it is hearing a ton of stories, especially from people you perceive as untouched by it.

I think that once you accept that rejection is part of life and inevitable, you can have better control over how you react to it. Do I let it ruin my dreams or do I use it as a valuable lesson?

Do I take it personally, or do I take the time to discover what triggered it? These questions make the world of difference between ending up crying because the world is unfair, and picking yourself up, having a laugh and learning something about yourself.
