A Millennial's Guide to Healthy Emotional Regulation with Jayna Swan

Have you ever poured your heart into a project only to face rejection after rejection? That gut-wrenching feeling of uncertainty can make even the most confident entrepreneur question everything. But what if those "no's" are actually guiding you toward your perfect "yes"?
The transformative perspective I share in this episode completely reframes how you'll view rejection in your business. Your gifts aren't meant for everyone—and that's not just okay, it's essential to your success. I reveal the counterintuitive strategy of "getting to the no faster" that my business partner Tom taught me after 40 years in sales. This approach has revolutionized how I qualify prospects, saving countless hours and emotional energy that used to be wasted on people who weren't ready for what I offer.
We dive deep into practical questioning techniques that help you quickly assess prospect readiness, maintaining neutrality about rejection while staying excited about client transformations. When someone says "no," they're not rejecting you—they're simply communicating they're not ready for the transformation you offer. Their "no" actually means "I don't trust myself enough yet to do the work." The rejection-handling skill might be the most valuable asset you can develop, not just for business but for life. I share my four-step process for turning each rejection into a learning opportunity: assess, correct, reapply, and learn.
Ready for a challenge that combines this mindset work with daily practices? I introduce the Thick and Thin Challenge using the five M's—movement, meditation, mindfulness, manifestation, and celebration—that could win you $1,000 every 90 days while transforming your relationship with rejection. Are you ready to embrace the "no" so you can find your perfect "yes" faster?

Breakthrough Sessions vs Traditional Therapy: What Your Mental Health Journey Is Missing

Send us a text

Have you ever defended your passions to someone who just didn't get it? That's exactly what happened when a longtime friend challenged the value of my women's emotional regulation retreats. Instead of crumbling under the weight of objections – something I might have done years ago – I stood firmly in my knowledge and experience.
This conversation revealed common misconceptions about emotional health work. From the perception that youth equals inexperience (despite my intensive study since age 19), to equating social media followings with expertise (when many high-performing clients prefer discretion), these objections reflect deeper misunderstandings about true transformation.
The differences between traditional therapy and my emotional regulation approach are stark. While therapy often focuses on awareness without providing tools for change, my breakthrough sessions combine awareness with active transformation. Think of therapy as wrapping tape around a leaky pipe versus my approach: replacing the pipe entirely. Therapy maintains professional distance; I walk alongside clients, sharing personal stories that bridge understanding. Therapy breadcrumbs you through endless sessions; I deliver the whole meal upfront with intensive breakthrough experiences followed by integration support.
Perhaps most surprising to my friend was learning that successful people – those with thriving businesses, healthy relationships, and strong bodies – are perfect candidates for emotional resets. These high-achievers recognize that to reach their next level, they need to release the subtle emotional blocks holding them back. Nobody escapes the emotional overload of modern life – most of us walk around with cups filled to the brim, occasionally spilling over before slowly filling again. An emotional reset empties your cup completely, creating space for intentional responses rather than reactive outbursts.
Women-only retreats create unique sanctuaries where deep healing can occur. With six out of ten women having experienced sexual abuse by men, these safe environments allow for vulnerability impossible to achieve in mixed settings. The feminine energy that flows when women gather without outside masculine presence creates transformative possibilities that simply can't be replicated otherwise.
Ready to experience an emotional reset that will change everything? From virtual courses to immersive retreats, there's an entry point perfect for you. Join the growing community of women who've discovered what true emotional freedom feels like.

Managing Grief While Moving Forward in Life and Business

Send us a text

The sudden loss of a friend to uncontrolled anger shook my world this week. Despite the raw heartache I'm experiencing, I've chosen to share my grief journey openly – not as a display of weakness, but as true emotional leadership.
Grief demands processing, and I've discovered fascinating insights about how we approach pain. My male friends urged me to speak directly from the wound, while female friends advocated for time and space to heal first. This gendered response reveals profound truths about energy and coping mechanisms that impact how we navigate loss. I've been deliberate in my approach to grief, creating intentional space to feel emotions fully while maintaining crucial routines. As I explain in the episode, processing grief early is like battling a "baby dragon" rather than waiting until that dragon grows into an overwhelming force that consumes us.
The pillars of my healing have been community connection, continued movement, and emotional honesty. I've maintained my gym routine despite painful associations, sought support from trusted friends, and used techniques like journaling and NLP to process emotions. When rage overwhelms us, our logical mind shuts down, leading to irreversible decisions. My experience reinforces why I'm passionate about teaching emotional regulation – because when we lose control, the consequences can be devastating. I continue to use my "5Ms" approach – movement, meditation, mindset work, affirmations, and celebrations – to navigate this storm while preparing to speak on stage and fulfill my responsibilities.
Have you built the community and developed the emotional regulation skills you need before the storm hits? The time to prepare isn't after lightning strikes. Join me in learning how to process difficult emotions effectively rather than letting them build into uncontrollable forces. Your emotional health might depend on it.
