First of all, what fantastic thoughts on rejection here! You do such a good job of being realistic but encouraging. And secondly, thank you for spotlighting my "generalists vs specialists" post!! That made my day, and I really appreciate it!

Such good advice here about navigating the (inevitable) rejection we will receive on our way to successes.

And also -- I love that tradwife ice water satire. I watched that reel several times, and it makes me laugh and laugh.

I just looked at the website more closely, and it sounds wonderful! I'm going to brainstorm ideas. Thank you for the nudge and encouragement!

I am dying! Every note is perfect! 😂And also overthinking where does she get all her dresses? Is this somehow her job? Does her work mirror trad influencer work but subversively?

Thank you for the mention ❤️ On the note of submissions, I haven’t submitted in a long time. It is definitely a fear and I choose to avoid the possibility of rejection. Eventually I have to move forward but right now I’m not there.

I totally understand. I go through waves of feeling ready and like I have reserves for it and other times it just feels too hard. Or maybe I’m just cycling between being afraid and then impatience takes over and I decide to do it anyway. 😂🤷‍♀️
