Ask a Swami: Rejection, Doubt, Disappointment and Moving Forward Confidently

In this podcast episode of Ask A Swami, Swami Padmananda, Ashram teacher and resident, responds to questions asked by our listeners:

  • How can a spiritual perspective help us face rejection, self-doubt and disappointment? 
  • How can I stop overthinking and move forward with confidence? 

Swami Padmananda reflects on the power of choice in how we respond to life’s challenges and the life-long journey of building a relationship with the Divine. Drawing from her own life, she emphasizes the role of curiosity as a guiding force – one that helps her reflect on experiences and uncover the hidden gifts in rejection and disappointment.
