I hadn't planned on sharing this story.

Other than my husband, nobody knew this had even occurred...

Until I shared it on Facebook...

And turned it into a Podcast Episode...

Now everyone will know.

(Okay, okay... that's dramatic...)

So why share it?

Because I felt led to tell you what happened, and what I learned from it...

Because there are lessons there we can all apply to our lives, and our careers...

Because if we keep the bad things to ourselves, they turn on us...

... we begin to believe We are bad...

... we begin to believe We are responsible for things we don't control...

... we begin to believe Everyone Else is doing a better job...

So, in the spirit of discovery and learning, I shared my story.

Grief, Sadness, Judgement, Shame, Guilt, Regret.

It's all there.

And with it the beautiful truth...

I did the best I could with the information and resources I had at the time.

I did my best.

The outcome did not turn out as I wanted...

... but I am still fundamentally me...

(even if my silly human brain tries to convince me otherwise).
