In this episode of The Art of Becoming, I sit down with entrepreneur and community builder Kelci Borges to talk about rejection, reinvention, and what it really takes to trust yourself when other people don't understand your vision.

Kelci is the founder and CEO of SheRose, a community dedicated to supporting women in business, and the creator of the Breakfast Club, a growing network that helps women connect, learn, and build successful businesses together.

During our conversation, Kelci shares the story of a major turning point in her life and business. While preparing to rebrand her company and step into a bigger vision, she faced public criticism from people she once considered friends. Instead of letting that experience stop her, she used it as fuel to build something even greater.

We talk about the fear of rejection, the challenge of outgrowing old identities, what happens when your worst fears actually come true, and how personal struggles often become the foundation for the work we're here to do.

If you've ever worried about being judged, misunderstood, left behind, or criticized for following your own path, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the very thing that feels like it's breaking you is actually helping shape who you're becoming.
