What to Do When You Failed At Something You Cared About

Episode 188: I work with a great deal of exceptional women doing incredible things on this planet. They're dating, raising babies, starting online businesses, making new friends, moving across the country, being vulnerable and/or re-evaluating the course of their life (all of those things are equally brave and amazing). Even still, they find themselves falling into the comparison trap when they look at what their peers are up to. I speak with women every day who are brave enough to go after their biggest dreams...and are still met with debilitating, identity-shattering failure.

What do you do when you find yourself "failing" at the projects, quests and dreams you've had your heart set on?

What do you do when you find yourself paralyzed after comparing yourself to your peers and their great deal of accomplishments?

This podcast goes out to all the perfectionists, dreamers and doers out there who want to come to peace with where they are in life and even learn how to enjoy the journey more.

It made me feel so bad about myself like I can't achieve anything at all. I decided to pass it again. But my morale is very low. I can't stop comparing myself to others who in my eyes have already succeeded much more."
