What do you do when you’re doing everything right… but nothing seems to be happening? In this episode, we dive into a game-changing moment from the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament — a single sentence from an announcer that stopped us in our tracks: “She is not going to be denied, even though she has been delayed.”

On the surface, it was about a player — Azzi Fudd — returning from two ACL injuries and dominating on the court. But underneath? It was about all of us. The dreams that haven’t happened yet. The prayers that feel unanswered. The work that goes unrecognized. The quiet fear that maybe… it’s not worth it.

Listen in as we explore what it means to live in the in-between — the tension between delay and denial — and why sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is keep showing up, even when nothing is guaranteed.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between being delayed and being denied
• Why persistence is still worth it — even without a promised outcome
• The mental battle that happens in the “waiting room” of life
• What real resilience looks like in seasons of silence • How to reframe the question: “Is it worth it?”

🛠️ Action Step:

• Identify an area of your life where you’ve felt delayed. Ask yourself: “What would it look like to keep showing up — not because I’m promised a result, but because I believe the work still matters?”

📌 Perfect For:

• Anyone feeling stuck in the waiting
• High-achievers navigating burnout, plateaus, or setbacks
• Coaches, leaders, and athletes
• Anyone who’s ever wrestled with the question: “Is it worth it?”
