In this episode of the Believing and Achieving podcast, I share my own journey of learning through adversity and how my perspective on decision-making has evolved over time. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that there are no “wrong” choices when you’re genuinely trying to grow. Every decision gives you information, and that information helps you make better choices moving forward.
I talk about how self-judgment and shame can quietly hold us back, especially when we’re afraid to make mistakes or take risks. Some of the moments I once labeled as failures ended up being turning points that shaped who I am today. Growth often comes from the experiences that challenge us the most.
I close the episode with practical ways to reframe mistakes and setbacks, so you can stop seeing them as proof you’re failing and start seeing them as opportunities to learn, adjust, and keep moving forward.
