How to Embrace Failure


Listen Later

It can be a struggle to show up imperfectly and messy for a number of reasons (looking at you perfectionism and fear), but what is at the heart of the issue? I believe we are afraid to fail. 

What if I told you that failure isn’t the worst thing that can happen? Not even close! In fact, it’s something to be embraced and even welcomed. 

Failure means motion, moving forward. It acts as a flashlight to show us where we need to adjust and try again.

I believe we need to change the conversation around failure and imperfection. It is all part of the creative’s journey. Join me at my table today. I have some encouragement for you.
