When Does A Mistake Become a Lesson?

"We beat ourselves up for past decisions considering them mistakes when they actually are not or were not mistakes at all."

In this episode, I talk about something that we all deal with—when does a mistake become a lesson? Inspired by an email from Kyle Creek, we break down the importance of learning from your screw-ups and why making new ones is part of the journey. 

We get into the difference between a mistake and a choice, how ego plays into our decisions, and why it's so easy to label everything as a mistake (hint: don't do that!). I also share why it’s key to celebrate your choices and flip your mistakes into chances for growth.

Stick around till the end, where I remind you to ask yourself the right questions and keep learning from every experience. 

Tune in and let’s grow together to:

• Turn every mistake into a lesson by choosing to learn from it
• Break the cycle of repeating the same mistakes by stepping out of your comfort zone and admitting when you're wrong
• Ask yourself reflective questions like "What worked?", "What didn’t work?", and "What will I do differently next time?" to navigate mistakes and move forward

If you’re ready to turn your mistakes into wins, this one’s for you!
