Nona Jones brings a word in today's episode where she candidly shares with Sadie about her incredibly traumatic and abusive childhood. Nona talks about being told she was unwanted by her mom and how she was forced back into an abusive situation with her mom's live-in boyfriend — but how she's learned, with God's help, to work through the overwhelming feelings of rejection she's experienced. Rejection IS painful — we all experience it in different ways — but what lessons can we learn from it too? As Nona says, "Pain is just the wrapping paper" and encourages us to dig deep and observe our thoughts and why we react to situations and words the way we do. Nona's book, "The Gift of Rejection" is available anywhere you buy your books! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
