When life (or business) throws you a setback, your brain wants to go straight to panic: I messed up. I'm behind. I'm failing.

But that story isn't true--it's just familiar.

In Episode 3, we're breaking that cycle.

This episode is all about learning to analyze failure instead of personalizing it, and shift from self-blame to strategic thinking. You'll learn how to identify the lesson inside the setback, how to separate your identity from the outcome, and how to built micro-momentum even on the days when nothing seems to be going your way.

We talk about:

• What to do when your brain defaults to panic
• What it really means to "stack your wins"
• How to create progress even when you feel stuck
• The mindset shift that turns failures int data, not identify
• One easy, practical way to rewired your thinking toward resilience and action

If you're navigating an ending, a transition, a business hurdle, or a season of self-doubt, this episode gives you one strategy--and the courage-- to keep moving.

Because this is not the end. It's the beginning of your next win.
