    26. What to do when you fail

    You know the feeling - that pit in your stomach when you see a bad grade. The urge to hide under the covers when you don't get the job. The tears you hold back when you miss the mark or lose the game. Failure isn't fun. But what if we can take the sting out of failure by changing how we think about it? What would we go out for in life if we weren't so afraid of failing? What could we accomplish? Join us for this confronting conversation about failure, and learn a powerful process that can turn a failure into a win.

    How are you doing? No, really, how are you doing? Is your reflex response “fine" or "OK"? Do you tell people if you feel not OK? Let's have a candid talk about mental health. In today's episode we're taking this topic head-on and I'm sharing some deeply personal experiences with depression and anxiety, as well my strategies for taking care of my own mental health and overall wellbeing.
