Episode 56: Releasing Failure for a Fresh Start
In our first episode of the winter season, I'm giving you a process to release any gunk left over from the topsy-turvy year that was 2022 so you can rest, rejuvenate and plant seeds of change with clean energy come springtime. Let’s continue to develop a new relationship with this construct of "failure" so we can use it as a superpower.
What's in this episode for you:
Why failure is so important for us to embrace
The story of my TEDx fail
A process to help you walk through failure with grace
A sneak peek at next week's powerful conversation
Tools for Change:
As you plan for the year ahead, take some time to:
Acknowledge - Write down all your failures alongside all your wins for 2022.
Feel the feels - Pay attention to what you feel in your body when you write these down. Find a way to be with these emotions and release them.
Reframe - When the energy has shifted, move on to writing down the gifts in these experiences.
Celebrate - Do a dance, give yourself a high-five, draw a bath, light some candles - you took action that led to great gifts!

To Know the Dark, by Wendell Berry
