Ep.39 From Setback to Success: How Failure Can Lead to Your Next Chapter

In the very first episode of the Asking for a Friend Podcast, I speak of listening to podcasts for the first.  I had lost my job, it was during the pandemic, and I was walking A LOT!  The podcast that drew me in was called Failing Forward.  The guests all have had some measure of failure or a life misstep that provided them a pivotal moment.  The question is, are they truly failures or stepping stones that propel us to success?  It gave me pause to hear their stories and provided clarity to examine what was missing in my own life.  One of the messages I kept hearing was, "Be true to yourself."  By being true to myself, I realized that I needed a creative outlet, which was the genesis of starting this podcast.  I consulted with the host of the Failing Forward Podcast as I was devising my plan, and I am so appreciative of her support and encouragement.  It is important, as women, that we lift each other up and applaud life's accomplishments.  That is one of the missions of this podcast, and it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you, the very engaging and inquisitive, Sarah Brown.https://failforwardpod.comInstagram @failforwardpod_________________________________________If you’re doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, adding a layer of support may be an option.
