#053 Failure and the millennial woman

How does the word failure make you feel? In this episode, we delve into the subject and our own journeys with it. Verity talks about how she feels it is important to ‘fail’ and understanding what you don’t want is just as important in knowing what you do want. Charelle discusses her struggle with failure and how your attitude and reaction to it makes all the difference.

Are you a perfectionist who is crippled by failure? Should we simply see failure as growth? Is there a difference between failing and being a failure?

We discuss having to risk failure to try and succeed in life and the importance of making failure your friend. Is the definition of failure subjective if you compare your own opinion of yourself to others? Verity discusses the more spiritual side in that you are sent things in life to help you grow and put you on the path of where you need to be. Charelle brings up the pressure she has put on herself in the past by putting time goals on her achievements.

What is your definition of failure for yourself? We finish the episode talking about overwhelm, setting yourself up to fail and giving yourself permission to evolve with the rhythm of life.
