Reframing Rejection
Episode description
Why is rejection so awful? As creatives, the pain of rejection can sometimes make us question why we’re even bothering to pursue a creative life. But Tricia thinks that there might be a different way. Can we harness this rejection into something more constructive, and amplify our creativity in the process? Inspired by her ‘one hundred rejections for Christmas’ idea, it turns out that trying really hard to get rejected might just be the secret to success.
