Episode 21
Today we’re talking about something we all know intellectually but struggle to live out emotionally:
Failure is data, not defeat.
Now, I know that sounds like a motivational poster, but stay with me — because when it comes to money, this truth can completely transform your financial journey.
If you’ve ever made a financial mistake — maybe maxed out a credit card, made a bad investment, spent impulsively, or just felt like you should be further along — this episode is for you.
We’re going to unpack what it really means to view failure through a lens of learning, not shame, and how to turn those financial missteps into fuel for growth.
