Summary

High-achievers are trained to treat every "no" as a "not yet", but that chasing is exactly what's burning you out. In this episode, Jahmaal Marshall reframes rejection as protection, unpacks the difference between being rejected and being removed, and shows why some of the rooms you're fighting to re-enter are the ones God locked for your good.
