In this episode, we dive deep into her new book, "The Gift of Rejection," and explore her transformative journey from pain to empowerment. Nona will share her poignant experiences, including a childhood marred by abuse and rejection, and how these trials shaped her path to resilience. We'll discuss the concept of acclimation, the importance of being mindful of our thoughts, and how to replace negative self-talk with empowering affirmations. Together, we'll tackle the societal challenge of women viewing each other as threats and the necessity of building and supporting each other's successes. Plus, Nona's personal stories will cast a light on the hidden blessings behind life's rejections.
