Have you ever looked at your life and thought… wait, where the hell did I go?

I started writing this episode in the middle of the night in Corfu, surrounded by beautiful beaches, my children, friends and everything that should have made me happy — except I wasn’t.

Somewhere between moving countries, motherhood, family, responsibilities, aging, perimenopause (or, as I prefer to call her, peri meni) and simply living life, I realized I didn’t quite recognize the woman living mine anymore.

So this episode isn’t really advice. It’s personal. It’s messy. It’s about missing the woman I used to be, trying to understand the woman I am now, and realizing that maybe I don’t need to have all the answers yet.

For once, the Nobody doesn’t have the unsolicited advice.

Maybe you do.

What if rejection isn’t something to fear… but something to understand?

In this episode, I look back at the moments in my life that began with a simple “no.” A doll I never got as a little girl. Friends I thought didn’t want me around. Jobs I didn’t get. Relationships that didn’t work. Comments that shook my confidence.

For years, I saw these moments as setbacks. Looking back, I see something very different.

Every rejection quietly redirected me toward the person I was becoming.

This isn’t an episode about pretending rejection doesn’t hurt. It does. But perhaps our greatest opportunities begin with the doors that never opened.

Join me as I explore The Beautiful Art of Rejection and why, looking back, I honestly wouldn’t change a thing.

Do I believe in soulmates?

Not exactly.

In this deeply personal episode of Unsolicited Advice from a Nobody (UAFAN), I share my journey through first kisses, first love, heartbreak, betrayal, marriage, divorce, unforgettable dates, and everything in between.

This isn’t a list of relationships.

It’s a collection of lessons.

Looking back, I realized that every person who crossed my path taught me something different about love—and more importantly, something about myself.

Whether you’ve been happily married for decades, recently experienced heartbreak, or are still figuring out what love means, I hope this episode reminds you that our relationships shouldn’t only be measured by how long they last, but by how they shape us.

Because maybe…

The people we love don’t complete us.

They reveal us.
