    Own It: The First Step Forward

    In Episode 3 of The OOPS Factor Podcast, host Kaitlyn Hood sits down with Dr. Shelta Richardson to unpack the first “O” in the OOPS Factor framework: Own It. With vulnerability, honesty, practical wisdom, and plenty of humor, Dr. Richardson shares why owning our mistakes can feel so uncomfortable and why it is also one of the most freeing things we can do. This isn’t about beating yourself up, living in shame, or taking responsibility for things that aren’t yours. It’s about having the courage to look honestly at your OOPS moment and ask, “What part of this belongs to me?” Dr. Richardson makes that first step feel safe and doable, offering practical advice for moving beyond excuses, blame, and shame and toward accountability, growth, and purpose. Because you can’t change what you refuse to acknowledge. But once you own it, you can begin deciding what happens next. 🎙️ Subscribe to The OOPS Factor Podcast so you don’t miss the rest of the series as we walk through all four steps: Own It.
