  • Are you afraid of making mistakes? (Blooper Reel)

    In episode #3, high school gymnast Paige Magel shared a blooper reel of her falls (see our YouTube page for the video), and said, "...I'm going to make mistakes. And it's OK to make mistakes." So, we thought it only fitting that we share a short blooper reel from season 1.  

    We'll be back in the fall with new episodes (September 26, 2022). Until then, revisit our stories, share with your kids and friends...oh, and please leave a comment and rating where you listen to podcasts.
