EP 013: When Failure Feels Personal: A Creative’s Guide to Resilience

from BIG GIRL PANTIES & Other Business Essentials · host Amy Howard

In this episode, Amy unpacks a topic that every creative, entrepreneur, and dream‑builder encounters—but almost no one wants to talk about: failure that hits you in the gut. Not the funny kind you laugh about years later. Not the “oops” moments. The kind that rattles your confidence, shakes your calling, and whispers, “Maybe you aren’t meant for this.” But what if that whisper is a lie? And what if your failure is actually pointing you toward your purpose—not away from it? Inside this episode, Amy reveals: What You’ll Discover Why failure feels so personal for creatives—and the hidden lie beneath it The real reason you compare your journey to others (and how to stop the spiral) Why successful people aren’t fearless—they’re resilient   Three practical steps to rise, pivot, and rebuild with wisdom instead of shame If you’ve been sitting in discouragement… if your idea didn’t lift… if your first version flopped… You NEED this episode. Because you are not finished. Your breakthrough may be one pivot away. #FaithAndBusiness #ChristianEntrepreneur #CreativeCalling #FailureToFuel #PurposeOverPressure #KingdomBusiness #ResilientFaith #RiseAgain #CalledToCreate #GodSizedDreams
