I’ve learned that two truths can hold space at the same time. Navigating adult life is an adventure, and so is accepting the versions of us, and the seasons, that are already behind us. I named this podcast Life in Progress because none of us are done yet. We’re all still becoming.This space is for the in-between: the conversations we have when we’re figuring it out, the lessons we only understand in hindsight, and the honest moments when we admit we don’t have it all together. You don’t need to have arrived to belong here. You just need to be willing to keep going.

We’re quick to give grace to everyone else: the friend running late, the coworker still figuring it out, the stranger having a bad day. But when it’s us, we expect to have it all together already.In this episode, we talk about why patience with yourself is one of the hardest things to learn, and why it matters more than we think. We get into the pressure of comparing your timeline to everyone else’s, what to do when progress feels painfully slow, and the small, honest ways to stop being your own harshest critic.If you’ve been feeling behind lately, this one’s for you. Growth isn’t a deadline. It’s a life in progress.

It's not a competition. It just feels like one when everyone's posting their wins at the same time. I spent years quietly measuring myself against people who weren't even running my race. Same age, different assignment. Same industry, different starting point. And still I'd look at where they were and decide I was late. But late compared to what? There's no schedule. Nobody handed us the same map. You're not behind. You're just on your own timeline and it's moving, even on the days it doesn't look like it. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook

Nobody will come to fix it for you. Not your parents, not a partner, not the future version of you who finally feels "ready." This week we're talking about the least glamorous part of adulthood: deciding that your life is your responsibility. Not because what happened to you doesn't matter, but because what you do with it now is the only part you actually get to choose. We get into why the rescue you're waiting for isn't late; it's just not coming. We talk about the difference between understanding your past and hiding behind it, why real growth looks a lot like paying bills and making the phone call you've been avoiding, and what it means to become your own adult: the one who holds the boundary, sets the bedtime, and says no when yes is easier. And we sit with the hard one. Staying small feels safe, until you notice how much it's costing you. If you've been waiting to feel ready, this one's for you. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook

Here's the reason why I decided to lock in.I didn't wait for the start of 2027 to make changes. I started on a regular Tuesday. No countdown, no new planner, no perfect timing.Because I realized I was treating January like a starting line, when really it was just a place to keep parking the things I was scared to begin.The version of me I kept postponing wasn't waiting for a new year. She was waiting for me to stop negotiating. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook

In this episode of Life in Progress, I'm coming to you from Barcelona to talk about something I care about deeply: the courage to keep trying, even when you get rejected, even when it's hard, and even when nothing seems to be working yet. This one is raw, honest, and personal. I get into why rejection is so much better than living with a lifetime of "what ifs," how progress is invisible right up until it isn't, and why the people we admire all have one thing in common: they kept going long past the point where it made sense. If you've been struggling lately, I hope this reminds you to rest, eat, but never quit. You don't have to wait for next year to go after the answers you need. Thank you for always tuning in.

Who else will believe that we can make it in life other than ourselves? There is so much power in believing in yourself first before anyone else can. Your own conviction sets the tone for everything that follows. When you trust in your ability to grow, to adapt, and to rise after every fall, you build a foundation that no doubt or discouragement can shake. People will always have opinions about what you can and cannot do, but their voices only matter when you've given up on your own. Belief isn't about ignoring reality or pretending challenges don't exist. It's about facing them with the quiet certainty that you can figure things out. Every great journey begins with a single decision: to bet on yourself even when the odds seem stacked against you. So start there. Believe first, and let your actions prove it true. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook

Let's go on a ligther note for this episode and let me share some lines that reminds me to be present and live my life according to my own terms. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook

Today I'm getting real with you about something I feel strongly about: I'm done romanticizing suffering. Suffering is optional. Growth is a must. In this episode, I'm sharing the standards I refuse to compromise on. In my business, my relationships, and my finances and why I believe you can build a life you love without wearing your struggle like a badge of honor. I've had to tolerate a lot to build this life, but tolerating something while you build is not the same as glamorizing pain. So this is your invitation to sit down this weekend, write out your own non-negotiables, and stop suffering for the sake of a story.

Are you feeling stuck in a routine, wondering if there is more to life than just getting by? You were built for greatness, and your potential has no expiration date.In this episode, we break down 10 powerful reasons why you should never settle for mediocrity or compromise on your dreams. No matter what your personal definition of success looks like. Whether it’s career growth, inner peace, creative fulfillment, or building a legacy. You possess the exact power and ability to reach it.Stop letting comfort zones dictate your future. Tune in to rediscover your drive and take the first step toward the life you truly deserve.

How often do you think of yourself first before anyone else's needs? Most of the time, we pour a lot into something or someone else, not realizing we don't have anything left for ourselves. We give and give to work, to family, to everyone who needs a piece of us, until "me time" becomes something we keep postponing to next week, next month, next year. But you can't keep pouring from an empty cup. This is your reminder: choosing yourself isn't selfish. Rest isn't a reward you have to earn. You're allowed to slow down, to breathe, to do the thing that makes you feel alive again, whether that's a quiet morning, a long walk, or finally booking that trip you've been dreaming about. Because the world will always ask for more. The question is: when will you finally answer your own call? 🤍 So today, start small. Put yourself on the list. You deserve to be poured into too.

I used to think comfort was the goal. Now I know it's the trap.My 30s have taught me that the moments that stretched me. The awkward conversations, the risks that could've flopped, the "I have no idea if this will work" leaps are the ones that actually built me. Comfort keeps you where you are. Discomfort is where you grow.So I've stopped waiting to feel ready. I've stopped needing to have it all figured out. Being uncomfortable doesn't mean something's wrong; it usually means something's changing. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook

You know that voice in your head? The one narrating your life right now? You're going to hear it longer than any friend, partner, or family member you'll ever have. Every relationship in your life is optional or temporary, except that one. This episode is about the relationship nobody teaches you to maintain: the one with yourself. We're unpacking why the way you talk to yourself becomes the blueprint for how you let everyone else treat you, why abandoning yourself often disguises itself as being "easygoing," and how you can't outsource your worth to a partner, a job title, or a follower count, because borrowed validation always comes with interest. We get into the practical stuff too: what it actually looks like to keep promises to yourself, how to sit alone with your thoughts without reaching for your phone, and why forgiving yourself isn't letting yourself off the hook. It's the only way to stop dragging the past into every new room you enter. You show up to every relationship you'll ever have. Might as well like who's showing up. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠ 🎙️ ⁠⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ⁠Follow us on: Instagram⁠ ⁠Tiktok⁠ ⁠Facebook

For years, I made myself smaller to fit into rooms I'd already outgrown. 🤍 This week on Life in Progress, I'm unpacking the things we apologize for that we never should: our boundaries, our ambition, our changing minds, our need to put ourselves first. Somewhere along the way, we learned that being agreeable was safer than being honest. This one is me unlearning that, out loud. Change isn't scary. Change is beautiful; it means you're moving. ⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠ ⁠Tiktok Shop⁠ 🎙️ ⁠Life in Progress with Angely Dub⁠ 📩 Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

What started as a casual travel update turned into one of my most honest episodes yet: why I don't think we need a "reason" to do the things we love, how losing my dad at 13 reshaped my entire relationship with time, and why I believe today's self-awareness culture might be quietly turning into a cage instead of a tool for freedom. I get into the neuroscience of habit and comfort, unpack the risky-but-necessary math behind "adulting" in your 30s, and get vulnerable about the parts of my identity I've had to unlearn from being too guarded with my trust to trying to fix everyone around me. If you've ever needed permission to stop overthinking and start doing, this episode is for you.
