I talk about the word experiment and why changing the way I frame mistakes, effort, and uncertainty has completely changed how I show up. For most of my life, I avoided trying new things unless I knew I’d be good at them. Making a mistake felt personal, like it said something about who I was.

In this conversation, I share how seeing things as experiments instead of tests has helped me let go of judgment, loosen my grip on outcomes, and actually take action. We talk about moving from being a judge to being a scientist, using curiosity instead of self-criticism, and why uncertainty isn’t something to avoid, but something you need in order to learn.

This episode is about language, learning, and giving yourself permission to try without needing to know how it will turn out.
