Hi, I’m Heather Tosh and you’re listening to, Women Who Fail, a podcast celebrating women of Scotland and their failures. This podcast is about our lessons from failure, the lengths we go to to avoid feeling it, and the fact that we’re pretty bad at encouraging girls to fail.

The rise of social media means we now live in an age of positive curation, where Instagram feeds are designed to give the most glowing impression of our lives. In this context, failure doesn’t get much airplay. But, I thought, wouldn’t it be refreshing if we stripped back the carefully crafted layers of our supposedly perfect selves, and revealed the more vulnerable side within all of us?

I hope you enjoy the podcast.
