Rejection is universal, yet seldom discussed openly. Each episode, hosted by podcaster and professional job seeker, Rebekah Sebastian, explores the most heartbreaking, hilarious, or hellish job rejection stories from job seekers just like you — a reminder that rejection happens to the best of us.
From being ghosted after nailing an audition, to bombing a high stakes interview, listen in as we laugh, cry, and connect through the stories of rejection that shape us. So the next time you get the dreaded “Thank you for your interest” email, consider circling back to this podcast for some much needed solidarity.

If a job is taken away before you start, did you even have the job to begin with?
In today’s episode, host Rebekah Sebastian sits down with Fela Davis, an audio engineer who turned learning on the job into an art form. With undeniable raw talent, Fela made waves in the music industry, but she knew she needed more to truly break through. Years of hustle, innovation, and sheer determination led her to the brink of her biggest dream—until one unexpected phone call changed everything.
With an infectious laugh and an inspiring drive, Fela shares her journey, resonating deeply with TYFYI co-producer Samantha Gattsek, a fellow alum of Full Sail University.
Stick around for the Not Safe for Work (NSFW) segment at the end of the show, featuring listener voicemails. This week — our anonymous caller got quite the run around when she applied for her first full time job out of college.
