We've all been rejected at some point, be it romantically or by a friend, for a job, or when we're young and trying out for a place on a team. And no matter how many times we're rejected, it never gets easier. Our difficulty with rejection stems from untreated childhood trauma, and is often piggybacked with fears of abandonment. Jason and Jolene share their rejection stories and fears, and the thought that being rejected says less about you, and more about the person doing the rejecting.

Because there was so much to share and discuss on the subject of satisfaction, and how important it is for one's sense of self worth, Jason and Jolene return with the second part of their discussion on, well, satisfaction. The episode includes a little tune from Mick Jagger!

Just how satisfied are you in life? On a scale of one to ten, where does your satisfaction rate in your job, your relationships, your body image... the whole nine yards? And how does social media, and media in general, make you feel about yourself? Jason and Jolene have a lot to say about satisfaction on this, the first of a two-part episode on the subject.

And what harm can be caused by putting so much pressure on someone to be romantic on such a day as this? Of course, Jason and Jolene have more than a few thoughts on the subject...

We've all felt it; the little pang that makes us yearn for the good ole' days. Or the feeling that takes us back to the glory days of high school (if they were glorious, that is). Whether or not we want to admit it, we all get a little nostalgic at times. And that's A-OK. On today's episode, Jason and Jolene discuss their experiences with nostalgia, how it can be a way to heal your inner child, and the danger of becoming trapped in it.

Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chromic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

On this episode, Jason and Jolene discuss their own professional and personal burn-out experiences, and offer advice on how to overcome and even avoid it.

As hinted at last episode, it's time to talk about the people in your life. These people are reflective of who you are. Much like the clutter in your house, some times these people overstay their welcome. On this episode, Jason and Jolene provide guidance to those who might be second guessing some of the relationships they are in, be they romantic or otherwise.
