Description: Today I am joined by Liza Belmonte of Every Body Gets Dressed and a guest co-host, multidisciplinary artist Bec Mapes. We often don't see the effort that it takes to fail, nor do we know the sometimes damaging feats undertaken in the name of avoiding it. But when it comes to failure, what can often feel weighty, shameful, or even hard to admit is in fact, if you ask me, more of a door than a dead end. Bec shares how she confronted the term "failure" head on. And our guest, Liza describes how quick strategic failure became the key that unlocked the door to a life she never knew could have been possible. For me, my own failure says, “I tried”. And in my case, failure was also having the courage to stop, the declaration that I am more valuable than the cost of letting go.
