What if failure isn’t the problem — it’s the story you’re telling yourself about it?
In this episode of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, I take you through the first part of a class I teach inside Flying Higher. Let’s talk about the real reason failure stops us cold. It’s not the failure itself. It’s the meaning we assign to it, the story we quietly tell ourselves about what it says about who we are.
But there’s something even harder to face than failing. It’s the moment you break trust with yourself. These two things look alike but they’re completely different, and once you understand the distinction, the way you relate to your own setbacks will never be the same. This episode draws from two lessons inside the Flying Higher program.
Key Takeaways:
- What does a toddler learning to walk have to do with your biggest setback? The answer will shift the way you see every failure you’ve ever had.
- Carol Dweck spent decades studying why some people bounce back from failure and others don’t. What’s the one thing that actually determines which kind of person you are?
- There’s a critical difference between failing and breaking trust with yourself. Do you know which one you’re actually dealing with right now?
- Why does getting on your own case about not following through make things so much worse? It has to do with a part of your brain I call Myrtle, and her response will surprise you.
- Two small daily practices can quietly rebuild your relationship with yourself from the inside out, even if you’ve broken your own promises more times than you can count.
