The Courage to Get Rejected but Doing it Anyway | Life in Progress Podcast

The Courage to Get Rejected but Doing it Anyway | Life in Progress Podcast

Author: Angely Dub September 15, 2026 Duration: 21:41

In this episode of Life in Progress, I'm coming to you from Barcelona to talk about something I care about deeply: the courage to keep trying, even when you get rejected, even when it's hard, and even when nothing seems to be working yet. This one is raw, honest, and personal.

I get into why rejection is so much better than living with a lifetime of "what ifs," how progress is invisible right up until it isn't, and why the people we admire all have one thing in common: they kept going long past the point where it made sense.

If you've been struggling lately, I hope this reminds you to rest, eat, but never quit. You don't have to wait for next year to go after the answers you need.

It’s easy to feel like you’re just moving through the motions, ticking boxes without really feeling any forward momentum. That’s the space where Life in Progress finds its voice. Host Angely Dub doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but she creates a genuine space for exploring what it means to actually build a life, not just live one. Each episode feels like a candid conversation with a thoughtful friend, weaving together real-life stories and open-hearted discussions that touch on the messy intersection of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. You’ll hear about the tangible stuff-navigating career pivots, setting fitness goals that stick, cultivating relationships-alongside the more subtle internal work of personal growth. Angely approaches it all with a relatable honesty that makes the journey feel shared. This podcast is for anyone who suspects there’s a better version of their life in the making and appreciates a companion for the road, offering both inspiration and practical tools to help you shape your own story as it unfolds. Tune in when you need a reminder that progress, not perfection, is the real point.
