I've been rejected five times in five days. NO to my proposal. NO to my idea. NO to my request. NO to my dream. NO to what I thought was my breakthrough moment. Each rejection felt like a punch to the gut, and by day five, I was starting to wonder if everyone else was right and I was just being delusional. In today's episode, I'm sharing the brutal reality of what it feels like when the universe seems determined to crush your passion - and the impossible decision every dreamer faces when the world keeps telling them to give up. This isn't a motivational speech about never giving up. This is the raw truth about what happens when you're passionate about something but everyone around you thinks you should move on. When you start questioning whether persistence is courage or stupidity. I'll walk you through each of those five rejections. The hope I felt before each conversation. The crushing disappointment afterward. The way each NO made me doubt not just my idea, but my judgment, my abilities, my entire sense of what's possible. You'll hear about the voices in my head - some saying "keep fighting" and others saying "maybe they're right, maybe it's time to quit." The internal battle between passion and practicality. The moment I almost threw in the towel and walked away from everything I'd been working toward. But here's what I discovered in those dark moments - sometimes the difference between success and failure isn't about avoiding rejection. It's about knowing when to pivot, when to push harder, and when to go back to the drawing board with a completely different angle. I'll share the strategy that's keeping me going despite the constant NOs. How I'm learning to separate rejection of my ideas from rejection of my worth. The way I'm using each NO as information rather than devastation.
