Glitter, Grit, and Growth episodes

  • S2E3: Let’s Talk about the “F” Word - Failure

    This week’s topic is kind of a spicy one. Shelley and Jill talk about the “F word” - failure. In Season 2 Episode 3, we talk about the myths of failure, the grit required when you fail, and how to potentially reframe failure as a growth tool.

    This podcast is for you if you believe that:

    ● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

    ● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

    ● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

    ● There’s more than enough for everyone.

    ● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.

    ● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    ● 1:16 - Podcasthon is coming!

    ● 3:40 - Why failure feels like a dirty word

    ● 5:00 - Growth often comes from a failed attempt

    ● 6:00 - Create a safety net to allow for failure

    ● 7:38 - The antidote to failure

    ● 8:47 - What feels like a stumbling block may actually be a stepping stone

    ● 10:03 - Take the long lens of life

    ● 11:50 - Lean into your self care tools

    ● 12:00 - Analyze your successes

    ● 14:27 - Example of initial failures that became a success

    ● 17:45 - Fail quickly, fail often, iterate

    ● 18:30 - Pause and zoom out

    The antidote to failure:

    ● Adopt the mindset that you’ll either succeed or learn.

    ● Have self-compassion.

    ● Adopt a positive attitude.

    ● Reframe to “Practice makes progress.”

    ● Brené Brown says: “There’s no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.”

    ● We should be analyzing our successes just as much as any failure.


    Key takeaways:

    ● Failure is hard to talk about because of fear of judgment, negative self-talk, toxic perfectionism.

    ● Failing triggers a fight-or-flight biological response for survival (sweat, heart races, etc.).

    ● When we fail, we can feel shame, guilt, anger.

    ● We often view ourselves as failures. Just because you HAD a failure or set-back or things didn’t go as planned doesn’t mean that you ARE a failure.

    ● We view failure as blocking the way. But maybe it creates the path. We can either view failures as obstacles or lessons. We get to decide.

        • S1E21: Reframing Imposter Syndrome

          Have you ever had that nagging voice in your head telling you that you aren’t good enough or that you don’t belong? Most women have. In Episode 21, Shelley and Jill talk about a topic that they’ve touched on in previous episodes, but felt it was worthy of its own time to dig in even deeper – imposter syndrome. In this episode they’ll talk about what it is, why it affects so many of us, and how we can combat it.

          This podcast is for you if you believe that:

          • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

          • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

          • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

          • There’s more than enough for everyone.

          • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and

          trust the process.

          • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.


          While imposter syndrome is a complex and, at times, complicated subject, the top three areas that are explored in this episode are:

          • Discussion of societal and cultural pressures on women.

          • The role of comparison and social media in exacerbating imposter feelings.

          • How past experiences (e.g., childhood, professional environments) contribute to these beliefs.

            3:09 - The beauty of the community holding space for each other 

            3:30 - The concept of imposter syndrome 

            4:55 - Facing your fearbeasts

            6:51 - The origins of imposter syndrome

            8:25 - Imposter syndrome creeps in right after that moment of achievement 

            11:35 - Reframing imposter syndrome to “newbie syndrome"

            12:25 - Imposter syndrome is self-imposed, like an Upper Limit Problem

            15:18 - Steps for combatting imposter syndrome

            17:58 - Reframing imposter syndrome as growth

            20:01 - The benefits of starting something new


            The top five tips for silencing that negative self talk that leads to feelings of imposter syndrome include:

            • Practice self-compassion and acknowledge the feelings. Recognize that imposter thoughts are normal.

            • Talk about it. Share with trusted friends, co-workers, or mentors to gain perspective.

            • Reframe your thinking. Replace “I’m not good enough” with evidence-based affirmations.

            • Celebrate achievements. Practice recognizing and internalizing your successes.

            • Take action despite fear. The importance of moving forward even when you’re unsure.

              Since we spend so much of our lives navigating uncertainty, is it possible to embrace it? In Episode 20, Shelley and Jill talk about surviving, and even thriving, during uncertain situations. Whether it’s a career change, a relationship pivot, or the loss of a loved one, embracing uncertainty requires letting go, leveraging the tools in your mental health toolbox, and tapping into your resilience and self-efficacy - the belief that you have what it takes to make it through this gritty moment.

                • S1E19: Nervous but Networking - Tips for Making Authentic Connections

                  In Episode 19, Shelley and Jill discuss the importance of networking and making meaningful connections in both personal and professional growth, share some of their own experiences, and provide some actionable tips to help you improve your own networking skills.

                  This podcast is for you if you believe that:

                  • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

                  • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

                  • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

                  • There’s more than enough for everyone.

                  • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and

                  trust the process.

                  • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.

                  The top takeaways from this episode for successful networking are:

                  • Do your research beforehand but be open to connections you didn’t expect. Take some time to research who will be at the event. But sometimes the best connections are those you didn’t plan on making, so stay open to those.
                    • Listen more than you talk. Think about what you can give, not just receive every time you walk into a room. Focus on listening to others actively, asking open-ended questions, and showing genuine interest in their experiences and challenges.
                      • Follow Up and Build Connections. The value of networking doesn’t end when the event is over – it’s just getting started! Send personalized messages to the people you meet, connect on LinkedIn, or even set up a coffee meeting to continue the conversation.

                      • S1E18: There's More Than Enough for Everyone

                        In Episode 18, Shelley and Jill dig a little deeper into one of the key tenets of their podcast manifesto: “There’s more than enough for everyone.” They discuss the difference between abundance and scarcity mindsets, the benefits of believing there is enough for everyone, and tips on how to shift from scarcity to abundance.

                        This podcast is for you if you believe that:

                        • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

                        • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

                        • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

                        • There’s more than enough for everyone.

                        • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and

                        trust the process.

                        • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.


                        The top takeaways from this episode are:

                        •The universe is not a pie. More for someone else does not mean less for you.

                        •Shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset has countless benefits.

                        •We’re all at different places on our journeys, so stop the comparison game.

                        •There is a ripple effect when women lift each other up in the workplace or in business ventures.

                            • S1E17: Navigating the Messy Middle

                              We spend so much of our lives in the messy middle, so why is it so hard to navigate? In Episode 17, Shelley and Jill talk about the grit and messy middle they have experienced during their personal and professional lives, whether it’s surviving a hurricane in a tent or sticking with the creative process when self-doubt kicks in. You’ll hear tips about how to turn inward to use the tools you’ve acquired throughout your own personal development journey and you’ll be reminded to turn outward as well to lean out your support network to help get you through the messy middle.

                              This podcast is for you if you believe that:

                              • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

                              • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

                              • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

                              • There’s more than enough for everyone.

                              • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.

                              The top four tips from this episode are:

                              • The messy middle shows us our resilience. We can learn to trust and believe in ourselves.
                                • Use the tools in your toolkit, especially during your messy moments. Remember to breathe, self-soothe, and use your coping techniques.
                                  • Zoom out for the reframe. Lean in other people for perspective because they are zoomed out.
                                  • Practice self-compassion. It’s ok to acknowledge how hard it is to be in the messy middle.

                                            Shelley and Jill have maintained their friendship for over 40 years. In Episode 16, they dig a little deeper into all the facets of friendship - the glitter, the grit, and the growth. You’ll hear stories about how their friendship has evolved over the years, how they’ve supported one another through life’s ups and downs, and how they’ve created safety and space for each other to grow and evolve.

                                            This podcast is for you if you believe that:

                                              • Nurture the friendships you want to keep. Like all relationships, friendships take work.

                                                  • Not all friends are created equal. You get to decide who has access to you and what you share with them.
                                                    • Friendships take work. Nurture the friendships you want to keep.
                                                      • Be there for each other through the ups and downs. Hold space for your friends and allow them to grow.
