#7. Stop breaking promises you make to yourself and see what happens
About this episode
Lucky number 7! So sorry to be late getting this out, but literally nothing was going to stop me from posting it on Friday. Though many things tried! I kick off the episode by explaining why I had to get to the studio and record in spite of the fact that I was hanging on by a thread. And then I pose a challenge to you. Next, I asked on IG for folks to share their 'fail forward' stories of times when things didn't go the way they hoped or planned but it led to a much better outcome or a good lesson. I got some great stories that I hope you enjoy as much as I did. I also shared one of my stories from the beginning of my career in fundraising, and frankly, I still cringe when I think about it 😬. Thanks for the love, y'all!
