Women on the Brink
The MAGIC of Making Mistakes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m reframing something so many women quietly carry: mistakes.
We’re taught to value formal education, linear careers, and “getting it right.” But what about the lessons we learn from heartbreak, detours, wrong turns, and brave decisions that didn’t go as planned?
I share a personal excerpt from my book I'm currently working on and reflect on how wandering, crashing into reality, and losing my footing weren’t failures — they were formative. They taught me boundaries. Independence. Self-trust. Pleasure without apology. And how to hold my own in a world that constantly tries to define women for us.
If you’ve ever looked back on your life and thought, I should have known better, this episode is for you.
