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
  

“It is a recognition problem, never a value problem.” — Just Jax

You’ll walk away with grounded self-worth tools you can actually use, including how to:

• Spot the difference between being rejected and being redirected
  

• Build self-recognition using the phrase “I’m the type of person…”
  

• Rewire how you respond to subtle put-downs, silences, or sudden cold shoulders

EP 18: NOT SAFE: The Trap of Imagined Danger

This 2nd Adopt-a-Not episode explores the fear behind ‘being prepared’—and how shifting from panic to trust can ease anxiety and reveal what safety really feels like.

I refused to carry orange construction triangles. He called it reckless. I called it belief. This episode of the Adopt-a-Not series challenges the link between control and protection—and unpacks how true safety begins within.

Some people plan for every worst-case scenario. Others trust themselves to handle what shows up.

This episode goes deeper than roadside gear. It asks what safety really means—and whether fear is shaping our definition of protection.

Jax shares the fight that erupted across 800 miles, over triangles, bald tires, and spiritual trust. But it was never about the hill. It was about two people—two beliefs—and one clear decision:

Fear may feel responsible, but belief feels free.

If you're exhausted from carrying emotional packing lists, this one’s for you. Get ready to swap control for calm, and trade survival mode for self-trust.

Quote from the episode: “Believing something bad will happen is the first step in manifesting it.”
