#98 - You Only Fail When You Quit - What I Know For Sure Pt. 1

"The only way you can guarantee failure is to quit. But you, sister? You are a Girl Out of Order. You are not a quitter. The world needs what only you can provide."

I cannot believe we are closing in on 100 episodes of Girl Out of Order! This journey has been nothing short of incredible, and as I reflect on the past few years, I’ve been feeling all the feels—nostalgia, gratitude, and a deep sense of purpose. But I’ve also been stuck in a bit of a creative rut, wondering what I wanted to talk about next. And then, it hit me.

Inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s book What I Know for Sure, I’m kicking off a special three-part series where I dive deep into the lessons I’ve learned on this wild ride of creating Girl Out of Order. And in today’s episode, I start with the biggest truth I’ve uncovered: the only way you can fail is to quit. Whether it's a podcast, a marriage, a business, or a dream that feels impossible—when self-doubt creeps in and you feel like throwing in the towel, that’s when you need to reconnect with your why. This episode is for every woman who has ever felt exhausted, discouraged, or on the verge of giving up. So if you need a reminder that your mission matters, hit play now, because sister, I promise—you're not alone.
