In this episode, I’m debriefing the April 2025 PGSD launch  and walking you through exactly how I processed a disappointing result without making it mean something about me, the program or my ability to sell.

This isn’t a “what went wrong” breakdown from a place of blame. It’s a real-time look at how I led myself through a launch that didn’t hit its goals without spiralling into shame, burning everything down or losing momentum.

In the episode I’m sharing:

• What emotional regulation actually looks like when the numbers don’t meet your expectations

• How to tell the difference between what needs tweaking vs what’s already working

• Why success doesn’t require perfect results every time (and how I’ve learned to trust that)

• The thought processes that kept me grounded so I could take clear, calm next steps

Whether you’re still working on showing up consistently or you’re refining your sales process, this episode will help you stay out of the shame spiral and keep building your business in a way that’s sustainable, strategic and self-trusting.

If you’ve ever had a launch flop or a result that didn’t reflect your effort - this episode is for you.
