And That's Okay! Managing Fear of Failure

Have you ever felt paralyzed at the thought of failing? Maybe there’s a project you’ve wanted to start, a conversation you’ve needed to have, or a dream you’ve tucked away because the thought of getting it wrong felt unbearable.
Fear of failure isn’t just about the fear of the act itself – it’s often tied to what we think failure says about us. Will people judge us? Will we judge ourselves?
Today, we’re talking about why the fear of failure feels so heavy, how to identify when it’s holding us back, and what steps we can take to push through it. Here’s the truth: failure is part of the process. And...that’s okay.
Recap what we’ve covered today:

· Fear of failure is normal and often signals that something matters to you.

· Naming your fear, reframing failure, starting small, planning for worst-case scenarios, and celebrating attempts can help you overcome it.

· Failure is a teacher, not a label.
