Episode 3
What Is This Showing Me?
Learning from Setbacks
It's Thursday afternoon.
You're in the grocery store parking lot, scrolling takeout options.
Last week you had it all together.
Now it feels like you lost all the ground you gained.
In this episode I share the launches that met with silence, and the question that changed how I look at every setback.
In this episode
- Why progress is never a straight line
- What I learned from launches that didn't work
- Why a setback is feedback, not failure
- The question to ask instead of "why did I mess up again?"
