#173: The Beauty of “Failure”

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I feel like a failure”? As a Type A, self-motivated, achievement-driven kind of person, failure is something you might feel often… even when you haven’t actually failed. The worst kind of failure is when you don’t meet your OWN expectation of success (which is more often than not) and find yourself stuck in a never-ending cycle of “feeling like a failure.”

In this episode, you will learn...

- why feeling like a failure is a THOUGHT, not an emotion (and how to talk yourself out of that BS)

- how to deal with common feelings of failure like when your body changes, a relationship ends, or a job opportunity doesn’t work out quite the way you expected

- 3 mindset shifts to help you feel better about potential failures

Remember: Anything that feels like failure right now is pushing you, preparing you, and pointing you toward the path you’re actually meant to be on.
