What If It Fails? Why I Did It Anyway

from The Fawcett Report · host Becky Fawcett

Welcome back to The Fawcett Report. This episode is a personal one. I want to talk about failure, not the kind we hide behind closed doors, but the kind that plays out in front of everyone. The kind that feels like the ground is crumbling beneath you and there’s no way to catch your breath. I’ve been there. I’ve lived through the heartbreak of infertility, three miscarriages, and the unbearable moment I had to send an email to 250 people telling them I lost a baby at 16 weeks. That’s not just failure. That’s public, gut-wrenching grief. But here’s the thing: it shaped me. It cracked me open in ways that made space for something new, something meaningful. That’s when HelpUsAdopt.org was born. It wasn’t easy, and it definitely wasn’t perfect, but it was real. And it mattered.In this episode, I’m sharing what it really felt like to walk through loss, to take a leap without knowing where I’d land, and to launch something out of the mess. This isn’t just about failure, it’s about what comes after it. The clarity, the purpose, the knowing that if you can survive the hardest parts of your story, you can build something beautiful from them too.Thanks for being here. I’m so glad we’re doing this together.Connect with The Fawcett ReportInstagram   l   Facebook    l   TikTok   l  LinkedIn   l   YouTubeFollow Helpusadopt.org Website   l   Instagram   l  Facebook Connect with BeckyInstagram
