Episode 22:

Not Chosen — Healing the Pain of Rejection and Choosing Yourself

From family betrayal to faith loss, Episode 22 of the Just Jax Podcast dives into the wound of being left out—and the breakthrough that comes when you realize you were chosen all along.

💬 Jax Quote: "The cure for the sting of being Not Chosen is to finally choose yourself."

Welcome back, my darlings. Episode 22 of the Just Jax Podcast brings us to the sixth Adopt-a-Not: Not Chosen. This one runs deep.

For years, I carried the ache of being passed over—by my mother, by the church, by relationships that broke me down. In this episode, I share the raw stories:

• My mother’s choice of my father over me
  

• The moment I repeated the same cycle with my kids
  

• Family rejection that turned into a courtroom battle
  

• The shock of being left out of my own family picture
  

And then, the breakthrough. I discovered that I actually was chosen—protected in ways I never recognized. That realization flipped everything.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why the “Not Chosen” wound can keep you chasing acceptance that never comes
  

• How small daily choices prove you are chosen more often than you realize
  

• The power of the mantra “I’m the type of person…” to rewire identity
  

• Why choosing yourself is the ultimate healing
  

This conversation is my love letter to anyone who has felt invisible, overlooked, or abandoned. You deserve to be your own chosen one.
