Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and creating a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today’s episode is part pep talk, part construction confessional, and all about the real truth of slow progress.

Recorded mid-drive to the mountains (because inspired chaos is kinda my brand), this one’s for anyone staring down a long-ass goal wondering if it’s ever going to come together. Spoiler alert: It will. But not on your timeline—and that’s okay.

In this episode, we dive into:

🛣️ The myth of “should be further along by now”

💥 What HGTV won’t tell you about real transformation

⚡ How to keep going when the finish line disappears

💡 The invisible progress that’s just as important as the flashy wins

🎯 The radical pride of doing hard shit yourself—slowly

This episode is your reminder that you're not behind—you're building something that actually matters. And that kind of work? It takes time. It takes guts. And it makes you a total badass.

Challenge for You:

Make a list of all the hard shit you’ve done that no one claps for (especially YOU). The inner work. The learning curves. The almost-gave-up moments. Then look at it and say, “Damn, I did that.”
