Have you ever buried a dream because it didn’t go perfectly the first time? When my first official wellness retreat for business owners didn’t go as planned, I almost walked away entirely, even though it was a vision 10 years in the making.
In this mini episode, I share what it’s like to pour your heart into something, face disappointing results, and find your way back through a simple but powerful reframe: seeing your work as a draft, not a final product. That perspective shift turned last year’s disappointment into this year’s sold-out retreat, with more joy and ease than I ever expected.
What you’ll discover in this episode:
- How binary thinking keeps us stuck in success or failure mode (01:13)
- The story behind my first-ever wellness retreat for business owners (04:31)
- The reframe that brought my creativity and energy back (06:28)
- The unexpected path to selling out this year’s retreat with ease (08:57)
- A guided reflection to help you pick your dream back up (10:53)
If you’ve been holding back because of a past disappointment, I hope this episode reminds you that progress comes one draft at a time.
