Conquering the Fear of Failure Through Raising a Daughter Artwork

Dear Mom, Love Daughter

Similar to a relationship with your Mother... or Daughter, sometimes we seek advice, sometimes we seek a good laugh...or cry, and sometimes we just want to know someone else understands. Tune in to Dear Mom, Love Daughter as we discuss the highs and lows of life through the lens of a Mother-Daughter relationship. Between social media and news, there is a growing saturation of right versus wrong, healthy versus unhealthy, and real versus fake. Just as if you are sitting down to write a letter to your Mother or Daughter, we aim to reveal the reality of Mother-Daughter relationships through interviews of Mother-Daughter duos of all backgrounds and ages, as well as our own. Together, we will dive into candid discussions and sometimes storytelling about life's most challenging and gratifying moments.

Conquering the Fear of Failure Through Raising a Daughter

July 11, 2020 • Becca and Andrea Jacobs • Season 1 • Episode 8

In this week's episode, Becca and Andrea discuss the topic of "fear of failure". It is something that Andrea has always struggled with and Becca... not so much. Was this fearlessness due to nature or nurture for Becca? Tune in to learn how Andrea (along with the rest of the family) raised Becca to not fear failure but to embrace it.

Becca revels over the fact that Andrea has instilled this willingness to fail and learn from mistakes without having self-doubt, and yet, Andrea has had this insecurity for so long. How can a parent raise a child to have such a strong trait, yet struggle with it themselves? What makes you afraid of failure? Have you been supported and encouraged to fall down and stand up even stronger, and how can we continue to learn how to do that?
