Feeling a Failure – Let’s Solve It

Ever felt like a failure?
That heavy, gut-sinking emotion that says “I’m not good enough” or *“I’ve let myself (or others) down”? You're not alone. But what if I told you feeling like a failure is not a fact – it’s a signal. And better still, it’s something we can solve together.

In this episode of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast, we go deep – but in only the way we can. I’ll walk you through how those thoughts of failure sneak in, what they really mean, and most importantly, give you simple, practical NLP and hypnosis-based tools to shift that feeling fast.

 Learn how to:
• Challenge and change the story you're telling yourself
• Turn emotional feedback into empowering action
• Reclaim confidence and self-worth (without toxic positivity)
• Use the language of success to rewire your internal dialogue
• Start new habits that build momentum, not guilt

This isn’t about pretending everything’s great. This is about acknowledging the feeling, finding the real intention behind it, and creating real, lasting change. And it’s simpler than you think — because, say it with me: In simplicity, there is genius.

It’s time to take that feeling of failure and use it as fuel for your personal growth.


Listen now and reclaim your inner success story.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
