This week, we’re taking a closer look at how to approach the fear of failure so that you can let go of it for good.
The threat of failure brings up a lot of very real worries and feelings, which are completely valid. Failure is so wrapped up in our sense of self, what we’re capable of, and our hopes for the future… no wonder we put so much effort into avoiding it.
In this episode, I share the experiences that taught me to recontextualize goals in terms of ideas, commitment, and decisions. Practice this and you will never fail again!

“It's worth reflecting on your reasoning. Do you love the reason that you've decided to not take an idea into the next stage?”
