Rejection hurts; whether that’s from a friend, a romantic partner, or even a job! The other major rejection we rarely identify is the rejection of self, including negative self-hatred and self-talk. This week, our guest teaches us how to turn this rejection, in whatever form it may be, into purpose and happiness! Trista is joined by relationship coach, inspirational speaker, podcast host, and new author, Kait Warman. She gives us an overview of the various forms of rejection identified in her book, Thank You for Rejecting Me: Transform Pain Into Purpose and Learn to Fight for Yourself, and opens up about her biggest rejection and the transformation that came from it, including a moment that she’s never shared before. She reads a powerful letter that she wrote to heartache, and Trista also opens up about moments where she has been hurt in the past. We hope this episode inspires you not to run from pain, but to lean into it in order to find your purpose and ultimately, heal.   You can connect with Kait on Instagram @kaitness or @heartofdating, listen to her podcast Heart of Dating, and check out her book Thank You for Rejecting Me: Transform Pain Into Purpose and Learn to Fight for Yourself, wherever you shop!   To check out what your host is up to, you can follow her @tristasutter or @betteretc on Instagram. To connect with the Better, etc community, check out our Facebook group. Be sure to rate us 5 stars, subscribe, and share with a friend so that we can all continue to be better together!    Thanks to our incredible sponsor for making this episode possible!
