Rejection doesn't mean you're worthless - Interview with Sandra Petrovna

Veröffentlicht am 15.10.2025

What am I really worth to myself? And how do I even measure that? These are questions that go deeper than they first appear. Self-worth isn’t just a trendy phrase or something you can tick off a list—it’s something we carry, or sometimes struggle to carry, inside of us every single day. Everyone says we should have it, but what does it truly mean? How is it born, how does it grow, and how can we protect it when life tries to tear it down?

When I sat down for my fourth interview with Sandy Petrovna, I felt these questions come alive. It wasn’t just a conversation—it was a spark, a flow of energy that left me with goosebumps even long after we turned the cameras off. There was honesty, vulnerability, and the courage to talk about things we all feel but rarely dare to say out loud.

I can’t wait to share this with you today. In our exchange, you’ll discover what real, healthy self-esteem feels like, how fragile versions can masquerade as the real thing, and how you can start building a foundation of worth that doesn’t depend on anyone else’s approval. With Sandy’s heartfelt insights and practical examples, this interview is more than words—it’s an invitation to look at yourself with new eyes and remember: You are already enough.

Our interview partner Sandra can be found on Instagram under @sandra.petrovna. She has only been sharing her views on personal development on social media for two months, yet she has already managed to attract a great deal of attention.

She works as a teacher, trainer, and mentor, and has been involved in personal development for over 15 years due to her difficult past. Although she is not a psychologist, she has completed many advanced training courses in the field and, through her unique approach, has already been able to help many people — whether professionally, personally, or through social media.
