Episode Synopsis

The Optimists are back—and this week, we’re getting real about something we all face but rarely talk about: rejection. From job applications that vanish into the void to auditions that didn’t go as planned, we’re unpacking the sting of “thanks, but no thanks.”In this episode, we share our own rejection stories, laugh through the awkwardness of post-audition heartbreak, and explore how those tough moments can actually point us toward something better. We dive into coping strategies that keep us grounded—from sweet treats and self-care to reframing rejection as protection.It’s a conversation about perseverance, perspective, and remembering that all it takes is one yes. Because sometimes, the “no” you dreaded ends up being the redirection you needed most.
