<p>This episode goes out to anyone who is wandering the minefield of modern dating and needs a little pep talk about rejection. It’s a rallying cry to remember that relationships are all about fit, and that when something doesn’t work out, it’s easier to believe that, in the long term, this is for our own good.</p><p>So, basically, if you want to hear me remind you that things are ultimately going to be okay and that there’s an opportunity for learning and resilience in this experience – give this a listen.</p><p>If you’re in the big feelings and grief of a break up or things not working out, this may not be the time to press play. Call and friend, cry it out, and come back when you’re ready to hear some optimism and hope.</p><p>Read the transcript at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://SettlingIsBullshit.com">SettlingIsBullshit.com</a></p><p>Support the podcast on Patreon at SettlingIsBullshit <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/c/SettlingIsBullshit">https://www.patreon.com/SettlingIsBullshit</a></p><p><strong>Resources, References, and Links</strong></p><p>Episode #41: “If You’re Freaking Out Right Now… (Press Play) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/05/22/if-youre-freaking-out-right-now/">https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/05/22/if-youre-freaking-out-right-now/</a></p><p>Episode #52: “If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes” <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/08/27/if-nothing-changes-nothing-changes/">https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/08/27/if-nothing-changes-nothing-changes/</a></p><p>Blog Post/Bonus Episode: “Dating Is Supposed to Be FUN” <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://settlingisbullshit.com/2024/01/31/dating-is-supposed-to-be-fun/">https://settlingisbullshit.com/2024/01/31/dating-is-supposed-to-be-fun/</a></p><p>Episode #46: Cultivating Self-Acceptance through Parts Work with Celine Redfield, LMFT” <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/06/26/cultivating-self-acceptance-through-parts-work-with-celine-redfield-lmft/">https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/06/26/cultivating-self-acceptance-through-parts-work-with-celine-redfield-lmft/</a></p><p>Episode #33: “Practical Mysticism and Trusting the Divine with Julie Day” <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/02/13/practical-mysticism-and-trusting-the-divine-with-julie-day/">https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/02/13/practical-mysticism-and-trusting-the-divine-with-julie-day/</a></p>
