58: Life After… My First Fail as a Published Author: Getting it wrong, showing up anyway, and learning to love the failures

Episode 58 Published 2 weeks ago
Description

What if the thing standing between you and the life you actually want isn't failure, but your fear of it?


In this solo episode, I'm getting real about something that happened to me yesterday morning. A small mistake, a live stream, and the wrong backdrop, and what it taught me about the one fear that quietly runs the lives of so many women in business and in life.


In this episode, I chat about:

  • The 4:30am wake-up call that went sideways - and why I'm glad I showed up anyway
  • Why shaming yourself for mistakes is doing far more damage than the mistake itself
  • The difference between fear of failure and what's actually underneath it — fear of success
  • Why success can feel more terrifying than failure, and what that says about the responsibility we're afraid to own
  • How I've had to apply this same lesson to 20 years of patterns in relationships
  • What learning to walk has to do with your next scary business move
  • Why community and support aren't optional when you're going after big, scary goals
  • How I turned yesterday's mistake into content, a lesson, and a reminder that showing up imperfectly still changes lives
  • A sneak peek at the new program I'm building around fear, and how to get early access


This episode is for the woman who has been staying in bed — metaphorically or literally — because the risk of getting it wrong feels bigger than the cost of doing nothing.


It's not.


Failure is not the opposite of success. It's the road that gets you there.


And if you're scared right now, that's not a sign to stop. It's a sign that what you're going after actually matters.
