Episode Synopsis

The Ask An Amazon Office Hours Podcast with Dr. Chelsea Mikael FrazierThis week we’re talking about the kind of “losses” that stay lodged in your body long after the moment has passed—rejections, disappointments, the no’s that shook your confidence, and the seasons where it felt like life was slipping out of your hands.In this episode, I’m guiding you through a different way to interpret those moments—one rooted in alignment, self-awareness, and track record. Because some rejections are protection, and some rejections are invitations to grow. The wisdom comes from learning to tell the difference.And in Field Notes From Thee Amazon, I turn to Octavia Butler’s Wild Seed to think through the medicine inside a wound, and what it means to alchemize harm into something that strengthens you (and sometimes strengthens others).This one is tender, steadying, and clarifying.---What You’ll Hear- Why some rejections really were misalignments- How to read the difference between “not ready” and “not meant for me”- The spiritual and psychological residue of early-life scarcity- Why your track record matters more than the stories fear tells you- What Wild Seed teaches us about healing, immunity, and turning pain into medicine- The deeper work of transmuting old fear so it doesn’t shape your future
