    MMMM… That’s Delicious! A Recipe for Resilience with Ebeth Johnson | FORWARD Magazine

    What if resilience doesn't begin after the storm—but while you're still in it? In this episode of Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast, Jay sits down with chef, wellness coach, entrepreneur, and FORWARD Magazine contributor Ebeth Johnson to talk about her powerful article, “MMMM… That’s Delicious! A Recipe for Resilience.” Ebeth shares how grief, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and unexpected life transitions shaped her understanding of resilience—and why taking care of yourself in the middle of a difficult season matters just as much as rebuilding afterward. Together, Jay and Ebeth unpack her four ingredients for resilience: Meals — nourishing your body so you can keep going. Movement — moving through stress so you can move through life. Mindset — making room for faith, hope, and possibility when fear gets loud. Membership — refusing to hide while you heal and allowing your community to support you. This conversation is a reminder that failure isn't always the end of something. Sometimes it's the information, catalyst, or unexpected ingredient that helps us create what comes next.   What if resilience doesn't begin after the storm—but while you're still in it? Jay sits down with chef, wellness coach, entrepreneur, and FORWARD contributor Ebeth Johnson to explore her “MMMM… That’s Delicious! A Recipe for Resilience” framework: Meals, Movement, Mindset, and Membership. A conversation about resilience, faith, failure, and learning how to nourish yourself while becoming who you're meant to be.

    FORWARD Magazine-Daphne Valcin: When a Setback Makes You Question Yourself

    In this episode of Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast, J. Branch sits down with Daphne Valcin, certified coach, speaker, and trainer, to talk about the moments when progress feels too slow, uncertainty starts to sound like failure, and we begin questioning ourselves instead of our strategy. Daphne shares the story of nearly walking away from her coaching business and the simple question that changed her trajectory: What if you haven't failed—you just haven't given yourself enough time to grow into the person your goals require? Together, J. Branch and Daphne explore: Why setbacks can cause us to question our identity The difference between changing your strategy and changing who you are Why slow progress is still progress What persistence can create that quitting never will How one conversation can change the course of your life Turning disappointment into development Because sometimes the setback isn't telling you to stop. It may be teaching you how to move differently. Take it FORWARD. Connect with Daphne IG: daphnevalcin FB: daphnevalcin FB: valcinstrategicsolutions

    Failing Forward as an Enneagram Type 9: Finding Your Voice Without Losing Your Peace

    What happens when keeping the peace becomes more important than being honest about what you need? In this final episode of the Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast Enneagram Series, we explore Enneagram Type 9, often called The Peacemaker. Type 9s are often described as easygoing, calm, supportive, and able to see multiple perspectives. But underneath those strengths can be a pattern of minimizing their own needs, avoiding conflict, delaying decisions, and disconnecting from their own voice in order to maintain harmony. In this episode, we go deeper than simply calling Type 9 “the peaceful one.” We explore what it means to fail forward as a Type 9—learning that peace doesn't require you to disappear, disagreement doesn't automatically mean disconnection, and choosing yourself doesn't make you selfish. We'll talk about how this pattern can show up in leadership and relationships, why avoiding a decision can sometimes become a decision, and how Nines can begin practicing presence, self-awareness, boundaries, and honest communication. You'll also receive practical stillness practices to help you reconnect with your own wants, recognize where you've said yes when you meant no, and become more comfortable expressing your perspective. And because this is the final episode in our Enneagram series, we'll step back and look at the bigger lesson behind all nine patterns: You are not your pattern. The Enneagram isn't about putting yourself in a box. It's about becoming aware enough to recognize the patterns that have been leading you—and creating the freedom to choose differently. Reflection Question What pattern am I ready to stop letting lead me?   You don't have to become someone else. You get to become more fully yourself.

    Strength without Armor: Feeling Forward as Enneagram 8

    What happens when strength becomes the way you protect yourself from vulnerability? In this episode of Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast, we explore Enneagram Type 8, often called The Challenger—a pattern rooted in strength, autonomy, protection, intensity, and the desire to remain in control of your own life. We’ll look at how the Type 8 pattern can show up in failure, leadership, and relationships. We’ll explore the difference between strength and control, protection and defensiveness, and directness and domination. Most importantly, we’ll talk about what it means to fail forward as a Type 8: learning that vulnerability doesn't make you powerless, asking for help doesn't diminish your strength, and healthy leadership doesn't require you to carry everything yourself. Through practical examples and stillness practices, this episode invites Type 8s to pause before reacting, become curious about what may be underneath their anger, and practice trusting without surrendering their strength. If you're new to the Enneagram, start with the foundational episode, “Failing Forward with the Enneagram: Awareness Is the First Act of Leadership.” Because the goal isn't simply to know your number. It's to understand your pattern well enough to choose differently. Reflection Question Where have I confused being strong with being in control—and what would it look like to trust without surrendering my strength?

    Failing Forward as an Enneagram Type 7: Staying Present Without Escaping Discomfort

    What happens when your ability to stay positive becomes a way of avoiding what hurts? In this episode of Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast, we explore Enneagram Type 7—the pattern of optimism, possibility, movement, and the desire to avoid feeling trapped by pain or limitation. We’ll look at how Type 7 patterns show up in failure, leadership, and relationships, including overcommitting, constantly looking for what’s next, avoiding difficult conversations, and walking away when things become uncomfortable. More importantly, we’ll talk about what it means to fail forward as a Type 7: learning to stay present, finish what you start, sit with discomfort, and discover that you don't have to escape an uncomfortable moment to move through it. Because avoiding pain doesn't eliminate it. It delays it. If you're new to the Enneagram, start with our foundational episode, “Failing Forward with the Enneagram: Awareness Is the First Act of Leadership.” Reflection Question Where am I avoiding discomfort instead of allowing it to grow me?

    Failing Forward as an Enneagram Type 6

    Building Trust Without Living in Fear Podbean Description What happens when the desire for security turns into overthinking, second-guessing, and waiting for certainty? In this episode of Genesis: The Failing Forward Podcast, we explore Enneagram Type 6—the pattern of fear, preparation, loyalty, and the struggle to trust yourself and your decisions. We’ll look at how Type 6 patterns show up in failure, leadership, and relationships, and explore practical stillness practices that can help quiet the mental loop, build self-trust, and move forward even when you don’t have all the answers. Because failing forward as a Type 6 isn’t about becoming fearless. It’s about learning that you can trust yourself to handle what comes next.

    From Caterpillar to Butterfly: The Hidden Transformation God Uses to Form Us

    What really happens inside the cocoon? A caterpillar does not strive to become a butterfly. It does not envy the sky. It does not know it was created for wings. And yet — hidden inside its very design — is the blueprint for transformation. In this episode, we explore the science and the sacred mystery of metamorphosis — how a caterpillar dissolves inside the cocoon, how imaginal cells activate, and how something entirely new emerges from what once was. Then we parallel that process to our own lives. What if the dark seasons are not detours — but formation? What if the container that feels confining is actually protective? What if becoming requires a dissolving before a rising? We’ll explore: • What truly happens inside the cocoon during metamorphosis • Why caterpillars were always meant to become butterflies • The difference between transformation and formation • How God uses hidden seasons to shape identity • What it means to “feel forward” instead of force forward • Why your current season may be preparation, not punishment You are not becoming something different. You are becoming who you were always purposed to be. If you are in a cocoon season, this episode is for you. For more resources and reflection tools, visit failingforwardhq.com.
