October 24, 2022

“I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.”
-Slyvester Stalone

There is nothing better than hearing how someone relentlessly pursued their goals and came out on top! That can be YOU too! By focusing on the process and deciding today to commit over time, you are beginning the journey where you will look back later and thank yourself for having started.

This week’s guest is professional ballet dancer, Annie Medich! Annie is a graduate of the HARID Conservatory and the University of Oklahoma, where she earned a BFA in Ballet Performance and a minor in Mathematics. Not to mention, she did all of that while dancing with Oklahoma City Ballet II for two seasons while attending OU! Annie has spent summers training at Canada’s National Ballet School, Ballet West, Houston Ballet, Texas Ballet Theater, Kansas City Ballet, Chautauqua Institute, Atlanta Ballet, and now dances professionally with Ballet Arizona!

Throughout this episode we explore why you can’t let others take away your dreams, how to handle situations where people’s egos are involved, and how to overcome rejection and use it to fuel your growth. We also go into 2 ways to get over the fear of rejection, how Annie’s faith has shaped her dance career, why having a constant in your life can help you weather any storm, and so much more!
