We have all walked into an interview and known, somewhere deep down, that something was off. Maybe we were unprepared. Maybe we were unwell. Maybe we clicked on the wrong link and panicked. And maybe we told our manager something we probably should have held back a little longer.

In this episode, I'm doing something a little different. Inspired by one of my all-time favourite podcasts, How to Fail with Elizabeth Day, I'm sharing three of my most epic interview failures and what they genuinely taught me about women's careers, preparation, self-awareness, and integrity.

I'm Kamila, a Business Psychologist and coach, and I believe that career confidence for women is not built in the smooth moments. It's built in the messy ones.

From getting motion sick in a skyscraper lift on the way to an interview I was already late for, to sitting through a grilling I had no business being in because I was unwell and unprepared, to verbally accepting a job offer and telling my manager too soon, these are the real stories. Each one taught me something I could never have learned from a perfect performance.

This episode is for every woman navigating her career who has ever felt embarrassed, caught off guard, or like she has made an irreversible mistake. You have not. Sometimes the failure is the lesson.
