Lisa Berry Instagram – Send this to a friend who’s wrestling with rejection, or save it for yourself for when you need a reminder that what’s meant for you will never pass you by.
Picture this: after five intense rounds of callbacks, the role you’ve been vying for is offered to you, only to be abruptly retracted because their initial choice becomes available again. This kind of rejection, if you allow it to linger, carries a uniquely personal and sharp sting—a special kind of rejection that cuts deeper than most. 🔪💔
My manager was initially furious, even wanted to pursue legal action over how abruptly the role was snatched away. But her frustration faded quickly, impressed by the grace with which I accepted the news. This chapter, though challenging, stayed with me because the part ultimately went to a friend, who shared that the project wasn’t a great experience. Meanwhile, the universe was aligning stars I couldn’t yet see. 💫
⏩ Fast forward a few months, I was offered the role of Billie on #Supernatural without an audition. What started as a single scene grew into five seasons. The journey of how I landed in the #spnfamily is a story in itself, one we’ll save for another day to stay focused on our current thread.
This journey, my friend, is nothing short of magical, and a testament to the seen and unseen forces guiding us. ✨
It’s hard to spot the lessons hidden within rejection. I’ve walked that path, but remember, what’s truly meant for you will never pass you by.
This is when we lean into trusting in those unseen forces guiding us, where each no, each redirection, carves us more into who we’re meant to be.
If this strikes a chord— if you’ve felt this peculiar blend of disappointment and gratitude, show this post some love. ❤️
Drop a ✨ in the comments as our little signal to the universe that we’re open, ready, and trusting of what’s coming next.
20 years in this game reminds me that passion, curiosity, and love for our craft will carry us forward. Welcome every ‘no’, knowing greater things await. Every twist, every turn, is preparing us for moments we can’t yet imagine. 🫶🏾
