ABOUT THIS EPISODE

What does failure mean to you, and how often are you using this word to describe yourself or your efforts?

Have you eve thought of failure being hard to achieve? In this episode, Chloe Abbott & Dr. Tommy Shavers discuss what failure really means and unpack how negative self-talk often starts with someone else’s words before it becomes our own. They break down why protecting your headspace matters, the importance of unlearning false narratives, and how to replace them with the truth about who you really are. If you still have breath in your lungs, you are far from over—and the only way you fail at becoming is if you quit. Come curious, and leave reframed!
