    Rejection as Redirection: Solo Episode

    Have you ever wanted something so badly—only to find out it wasn’t meant for you? In this heartfelt solo episode, I share a personal story about a job that didn’t work out… and how that unexpected “no” turned into a powerful life lesson. If you’re in a season of uncertainty or feeling like things aren’t going your way, this is your reminder: sometimes the delay is the protection. Sometimes, rejection is divine redirection. Tune in to explore how to reframe life’s disappointments, trust the detours, and keep moving forward on your unique path of becoming. In this episode, you’ll hear: A personal story of disappointment (and hindsight clarity) How to reframe rejection as spiritual or intuitive redirection A gentle reminder for women standing on the edge of “what’s next” An invitation to the Creative Breakthroughs Experience (July 11–13) Connect with Clarissa: Sign up for the free 3-day event July 11-13: https://www.thepurposedprogram.com/experience Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clarissacastilloramsey.art Free Painting Your Path™ Guide: https://clarissastudio.activehosted.com/f/7 Support the show
