🎙️ EPISODE 19 — Not Wanted

Not Wanted — Reclaiming Your Worth After Being Rejected, Misunderstood, and Overlooked

From workplace betrayal to butterfly wisdom near a septic tank, this episode unpacks what it means to feel unwanted—and offers self-worth tools to help you rebuild confidence and reclaim your value.

In this episode: Jax dives into the deep ache of feeling unwanted—and the very real impact of rejection, betrayal, and being pushed aside.

Through three honest, layered stories, this episode explores what happens when your value goes unseen and how to reclaim it for yourself.

🔶 Story 1: A butterfly lands on a flower no one chose—and transforms how we define value

🔶 Story 2: A military job, a muddy disaster, and the moment Jax’s son stood firm in his self-worth

🔶 Story 3: A call center betrayal that forced Jax to leave behind familiarity and step toward freedom

This episode is for anyone who’s been:

• Overlooked or underestimated
  

• Labeled as too much
  

• Dismissed by people who once claimed to support you
  

• Ready to stop proving and start choosing themselves
