Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we shine a light on something you do far more often than you realize:
...

turning setbacks into comebacks.

...

In this episode, we walk through the real moments—your moments—where things didn’t go as planned… and you rose anyway. Whether it was a failed promotion attempt, a mistake you corrected, a confidence hit you worked through, or a season where you had to ask for help, these are the moments that built your resilience.
...And resilience? That’s pure badassery.

...

Based on the prompts inside your Proof of My Badassery journal, we explore:
...🔥 Times you failed… but tried again (including Marie’s own story of applying for promotions multiple times before finally becoming a Lieutenant)
...🔥 When you shifted your mindset and chose growth over shame
🔥 Moments you adapted, got flexible, or changed your approach
🔥 When you sought support instead of drowning on your own
🔥 Skills you learned because a setback demanded it
🔥 The coping tools you developed that made you stronger than before
🔥 How focusing on what you’re doing right creates confidence momentum

...

This day is about recognizing every single comeback you’ve earned—yes, even the quiet ones. These stories deserve to be written down, revisited, and celebrated. They’re living proof of who you actually are:
resilient, capable, persistent, and powerful.
