Ep 96 - We're back, and we're starting with a lesson you also probably could've used in college (or anytime): failure isn't the end. It's the whole point!

This is episode 1 of 4 in the Healing Girl Summer mini-series, pulled from the manuscript Benchmarks Are Bullshit: Lessons I Wish I Knew at 18. We're revisiting the first big failure and what happens when a girl who was never allowed to fail finally does.

All of us have already survived learning to walk. We've been failing and recovering our entire lives. This episode is just the reminder we forgot we needed.

Key Takeaways

• Failure only destroys your identity when you've never been given room to practice it
• The scientific method is also a pretty solid life strategy. 
• Your comfort zone is just the ground you kept sitting on after you stopped trying to walk
• Failure at this big age is just information: that didn't work, so let's try the next thing
