Episodes

  • Sometimes everything looks fine on the outside—but inside, you’re quietly unraveling. In this honest episode, we’re opening up about the failures we haven’t shared before: the lost files, the launches that flopped, the career pivots, and the quiet self-doubt that creeps in when life feels good… but your mind won’t let you enjoy it.

    We’re sharing what it’s really like to come back from a setback—how to rebuild your confidence, reframe the story you're telling yourself, and give yourself compassion in the process. If you’re sitting in the messy middle or healing from something that didn’t go to plan, you are so not alone. This is your reminder that failure doesn’t mean the end—it might just be the beginning of something better.
