In this episode of The Active Life Podcast, we take a deep dive into the lessons that only come from failure, setbacks, and unexpected turns. Instead of treating failure as the end of the road, we explore how to use it as the clearest indicator of what’s not working—and a stepping stone to what comes next.We break down why failure feels so personal, the difference between quitting and making a better decision, and the trap of attaching your identity to outcomes. Through honest reflection, this episode highlights how to reframe “losses” as feedback, ask better questions when things don’t work out, and move forward with clarity.Whether you’re a coach, business owner, or simply someone navigating change, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from avoiding failure—it comes from learning to work with it.
