Giving Yourself Grace: A Different Perspective on Success | With Kelly Wilburn-Brien

In this episode, I sit down with Next Top Speaker finalist tax attorney Kelly Wilburn-Brien from North Carolina to explore a powerful idea that resonated with me during the recent speaking competition: success isn't about being perfect—it's about giving yourself grace.Kelly shares her incredible journey of perseverance, including taking almost ten years and eleven attempts to pass the bar exam before achieving her dream of becoming a lawyer. Along the way, we discuss self-doubt, resilience, learning from failure, overcoming perfectionism, and the importance of getting back up when life knocks you down.We also dive into public speaking, stepping outside our comfort zones, personal growth, fear of failure, fear of success, and why so many of the things we want in life sit just beyond the edge of what feels comfortable.This is an honest conversation about persistence, self-belief, and the reminder that failing at something doesn't make you a failure.Sometimes the greatest success comes from simply refusing to quit. www.steadysuccess.com.au
