Fairly Bold Podcast with Eugenia Woo 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!

If you’ve ever felt stuck. If you’ve ever felt surprised by life’s unexpected curve balls and you don’t know how to react and how to overcome these challenges. If this is you, I’ve been there before too. You feel like you’ve already come too far, and the thought of having to start over is terrifying. Don’t worry, friend. You’re going to be blessed by today’s guest.

Today I’m breaking the rules of our girls club and bringing you my husband, Edgar Woo, to talk about life’s unplanned transitions and how to deal when things don’t go your way.

We’re are talking about many things, including:


How his life was suddenly changed from being an on-demand sports and events photographer to having to reinvent his whole career because of the pandemic.
Dealing with disappointment.
Learning to trust God in our low moments and learning to get closer to Him.
Managing unexpected transitions including our journey moving to a new city.

I once heard that opinions are like armpits: everyone has one and it usually smells.

And while yes, this is usually the case, I am the QUEEN of unsolicited advice.

So for this season finale of Fairly Bold, I knew that I had to go out in typical Eugenia fashion: recapping lessons, wins, and failures.

Don’t worry, this is not going to be a dramatic Netflix-style one year pause. I’m just taking one month off.

BUT, since I’m going to be away for this month of April, I wanted to leave you with some food for thought.

These are 8 tips, or lessons, that I’ve learned through this first season of the Fairly Bold podcast, and I think you can apply to your life literally today.

Today’s episode is going to equip you with the tools you need to hopefully identify the messages that are negatively impacting you in the name of “empowerment”.

My hope is to inspire you. To give you a different perspective.

I don’t want to change your mind, I want to present you with a different option.

Maybe you haven’t felt truly “empowered” no matter how hard you try.

Maybe finally you’re going to understand why.

On this episode we discuss:




Brief overview of feminism

The different waves of feminism

Modern feminism and empowerment

Where do I stand


These are the resources mentioned:


Previous episode on my break up with female empowerment

Previous episode on boundaries

Mental health studies

Other studies about anxiety in the US

Tammy Bruce on the Pillars of Feminism
