Failure is feedback (but it still sucks in the moment)
from Kind of Crushing It · host Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic
Kind of on Purpose Series: Jessica and Nat tackle one of the toughest parts of personal and professional growth, failure. From career missteps and awkward feedback moments to full-blown "I want to disappear" days, they unpack what it really means to fail forward and find lessons in the mess. Through laughter and honesty, they explore why failure stings so much, how quickly our minds jump to catastrophe, and how perfectionism and comparison can turn one mistake into a full identity crisis. Because while failure might technically be "feedback," it still hurts in real time. You'll hear about: 1️⃣ Why failure feels deeply personal (and how to separate it from your self-worth). 2️⃣ How perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and comparison keep us stuck. 3️⃣ How to reframe mistakes as feedback, build momentum, and keep going. If you've ever replayed a mistake on loop, questioned whether you're cut out for it, or considered changing your name and moving to another country, this one's for you. Jessica and Nat remind us that failure doesn't define you, it's simply part of learning, growing, and figuring things out as you go. 🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn Have topics you want us to cover?
