In this heartfelt reflection, I share a chapter from my business journey where the connections I longed for didn’t materialise despite all my efforts and intention. I explore the quiet self-doubt that followed, the pressure I placed on myself to "prove" my worth, and the powerful shift that came from choosing self-empathy instead of self-judgement. This post is for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, overlooked, or out of sync with the opportunities they’re reaching for. It’s a gentle reminder that rejection isn’t always a failure, it can be redirection, protection, or preparation. If you're building something brave and the doors aren't opening just yet, this one's for you.
