Rejection sucks—but what if it wasn’t actually you being rejected?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by powerhouse speaker and coach Tanesha Moody to talk about one of the most important mindset shifts entrepreneurs and leaders can make: detaching your self-worth from the outcomes you’re chasing.

We dig into:

• Why high-achievers often take rejection personally (and how to stop)
• How to reframe "failure" into valuable feedback
• The difference between YOU and your offer—and why it matters
• How to bounce back with resilience and clarity when things don’t go as planned

If you’ve ever spiraled after a "no" or questioned whether you’re cut out for what you're building, this is your permission slip to stop internalizing rejection and start refining your path forward.

You know that moment when you're "functioning"—but just barely? You’re showing up, doing the work, tending to others… but under the surface, you’re depleted.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m walking you through one of the clearest visual signals that you’ve hit your energetic edge. I share a recent moment when this hit me like a brick wall and how I used this awareness as a tool instead of spiraling.

You’ll learn how to spot when your body is screaming for relief, what to do in that moment, and how you can start rebuilding your energy—without waiting for a breakdown to force your hand.

In this episode:

• A personal story that may feel eerily familiar
  
  
• How to know when you're functioning from burnout instead of alignment
  
  
• Why numbing out or powering through doesn't help—and what actually does
  
  
• How your body visually shows you when it’s reached its edge
  
  
• A simple, powerful question to bring you back to your center

✨ Want to unpack where your energy is going and realign your next move?

What does it really mean to be a leader—and how do you embody it when you're overwhelmed, burned out, or doubting yourself?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I sat down with powerhouse leader and faith-based mentor Shadae Paul, who drops pure gold on how to rise in your leadership—especially when the external titles don’t match the internal feeling.

We talk about:

• The difference between leading and performing
  
  
• Why your presence matters more than your perfection
  
  
• Faith-based leadership and how to hear the whisper that guides your next step
  
  
• Navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding power in your voice
  
  
• How to step into leadership from where you are right now

Whether you're leading a business, a team, or just yourself through a season of growth—this conversation will remind you of the quiet power you already hold.
