#4: failure for the win!

In this episode of Thoughts of a Dreamer: Out My Mind, Terri Nikki dives into one of the biggest dream-killers of all time: failure.

We’ve all been there—hesitating to post, launch, or pitch because of the shame and embarrassment tied to getting it wrong. But what if failure isn’t a dead end? What if every misstep is actually data, timing, refinement, or wisdom in disguise?

From childhood lessons that taught us to avoid the red “F,” to watching others push through “cringe” and leap ahead, Terri reframes failure as a necessary part of the dreamer’s journey. Using humor, storytelling, and a Scooby Doo-style analogy, she challenges us to unmask failure and see what’s really underneath.

This is your Failure Reframe Bootcamp—a reminder that success isn’t about perfect execution. It’s about becoming a successful failure, learning as you go, and refusing to let your dream die in your mind.
