EP. 1 | From Rejection to Purpose (Part 1)
from Stay Positive Podcast · host Evelise Guenda
This is the episode I've been waiting to share, the story behind the story. Before Stay Positive, before Houston, before any of it, there was a girl in Maputo, Mozambique, with a dream bigger than her circumstances and a gap year that felt like it would never end.In Part 1 of my U.S. journey, I'm taking you all the way back to the beginning, the exchange program that confirmed my dream, the application season that gave me hope, and the moment I realized that getting accepted wasn't the finish line I thought it was.I talk about what it felt like to watch everyone around me leave while I stayed behind. The isolation. The embarrassment. The questions I kept asking God. And the five lessons that carried me through one of the hardest seasons of my life.Because here's what I know now: that gap year wasn't a setback. It was preparation.If you're in a season of waiting right now, this one is for you. Your first "no" is not your final answer. 🤍In the meantime, Stay Positive. 👌🎵 Music by Cleo SolStay Positive Website: https://staypositiveapp.com/Stay Positive Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@staypositive_podcastStay Positive Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0YK2VQHelqWwHrdJYmLtk1?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioStay Positive Podcast on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-positive-podcast/id1817436407?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioStay Positive store: https://staypostivestore.com#staypositiveapp #podcast #GodsPlan #WalkingByFaith #Christian
