I FAILED ALL MY GOALS; FAILING FORWARD

Want the truth about failure without the fluff? Well in this episode I go there. I share the three big goals I missed this year—a book deadline that expanded beyond its container, a business target that didn’t land, and a fitness milestone tied to turning 40—and what each miss reveals about timelines, resources and integrity. No euphemisms, no toxic positivity. Just real talk about consequences and the choices we make when the result actually impacts our lives.We explore the tension between journey and destination and why holding the and matters more than ever. I unpack how alignment isn’t a pretty slogan but a set of constraints that shape your methods and pace. We talk money and stability without shame, why misaligned tactics aren’t wins even when they “work,” and how to build foundations through micro changes that compound into meaningful progress. You’ll also hear how the book took on a life of its own, why pushing for a photo-ready fitness peak would be unsafe, and how reframing goals can protect both body and creativity.Comparison gets a reality check too. Different bodies, skills, inner critics and privileges create different baselines, so measure against your truth, not someone else’s highlight reel. And if public failure makes you want to hide, here’s your nudge to let people see you try, miss, and try again. Resilience builds self-trust—and it’s the quiet engine behind sustainable success. If you’re ready to set clearer navigation points, name what didn’t work, and go again with better methods, this one’s for you.
