Let’s be real—feeling like a failure sucks.
Whether it’s a business that didn’t launch, a relationship that unraveled, or just waking up wondering “What am I even doing with my life?”—we’ve all had those moments where it feels like we’re getting it wrong.

But what if those moments aren’t setbacks… but signals?
What if feeling like a failure is actually a sign that you’re in motion, on the edge of growth, and becoming the version of yourself you’re meant to be?

In this episode of Midlife Mavericks, I’m breaking down the truth no one talks about:

We’ll talk about:

✨ How to shift from self-doubt to self-trust—one action at a time
✨ And why your daily struggles might just be the proof you’re doing it right

If you’re stumbling, second-guessing, or starting over, this episode is your reminder:
You are not behind. You are not broken. You are becoming.
