23. How to Overcome Failure And Use It As Fuel ft. Paola Soares from But First She Failed Fairly Bold Podcast with Eugenia Woo

This episode will be such a joy for everyone who’s felt defeated by failure. I’m so excited to bring you Paola Soares, a former journalist and national news producer whose stories have appeared on Univision, ABC News and Telemundo among other major news outlets.

Now she is the Host of the newly launched, But First She Failed Podcast. Paola is on a mission to normalize the idea of failure because of her own personal story of fear of failure. Now she is committed to helping others redefine the idea of failure so they can chase bold dreams.

On this wonderful conversation we talked about:


Her beginnings in the journalism industry and moving to Miami for her dream job.

How to deal with an unexpected setback and failing.

The importance of confidence and knowing your strengths, and more importantly, understanding your weaknesses.

Honoring your own healing time while having grace with yourself and your process.

And most importantly: how to gain confidence after a failure.


Remember that it’s all about getting up and trying again!
