Ep 249: Lessons from my mistake

In this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) I'm sharing a personal story about a mistake I made just last week, that illustrates the power of the mind and the narratives that we tell ourselves. While none of us want to make mistakes (it feels yuck, right?) the unavoidable truth is that we will continue to make mistakes until our final days. Why? Because we're human and to be human is to be fallible. So this story is not about lessons in 'how not to make mistakes' but one that explores the nature of self-criticism, curiosity and beliefs.
