Failure is something so many of us try to avoid, hide, or push past quickly—but what if it’s actually the thing that shapes us the most?

In this episode of the Career Gems for the Journey podcast, Leah C. Murphy CEO of Career Gems for the Journey, sits down with Priscilla Loomis, Olympic athlete, entrepreneur, and speaker, to talk about resilience, perseverance, and what it really looks like to fail forward.

Priscilla shares her journey of chasing Olympic dreams, facing setbacks, and continuing to show up even when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed. This conversation is a powerful reminder that success is not a straight path and that growth often comes from the moments that challenge us the most.

Together, they explore how to reframe failure, build confidence through adversity, and keep moving forward with purpose even when things don’t go as planned.
