In this episode of the Encouraging Cup podcast, we delve into the powerful saying: 'Fall down seven times and stand up eight.'

Reflecting on resilience and a daily choice to get back up, after setbacks. Success doesn't meant never failing. Maybe the road to success needs a lot of trial and error... learning, growing, persevering. Small steps, micro wins are worth celebrating.

Consider the process of learning to walk. It can take a while, but we keep trying. We can get curious about self-sabotage. We can be crushed by an inner critic, but maybe there's a way of letting that critic share helpful info with us, without feeling put down.
