In this episode, Roxie gets honest about her own history of feeling rejected and how those stories shaped her self-worth for years.

But this isn’t just about pain; it’s about change. We share the psychology of why rejection activates the same part of the brain as physical pain, and then takes you through the powerful mindset shifts that allowed her to stop seeing rejection as a reflection of her value and start experiencing it as redirection, protection, and even an invitation to grow. Along the way, she’ll show you how to rewrite the story you tell yourself, how to see rejection as a sign of courage, and how to build resilience so that the next “no” doesn’t knock you down.

What does it actually mean to live a wealthy life?

In this powerful episode of Rise with Roxie , we welcome Sahil Bloom - entrepreneur, bestselling author and one of the most influential thinkers redefining success today.

Sahil challenges everything we’ve been taught about money, achievement and happiness, sharing the moment that changed the course of his life and forced him to confront a hard truth: you can be on a “good” path and still be completely lost. From quitting a high-paying finance career to rebuilding his life around time, health, relationships and purpose, Sahil explains why real wealth isn’t something you find, it’s something you create.

Together, Roxie and Sahil explore the five types of wealth, why net worth and self-worth should never be the same thing, and how to design a life that actually feels like yours. This is an honest, grounding and deeply motivating conversation about letting go of what’s draining you, redefining “enough”, and stepping into 2026 with clarity and intention.

If you’re feeling stuck, or ready for a reset, this episode will change the way you think about your life.
