the PODCAST
Failing & Falling
Exploring What we Can Learn from What we Do Wrong
Failure is a language everyone speaks, but most of us struggle to admit it. Like embers in a fire that won’t quite go out—guilt, shame, and embarassment replay the moment, the decision, the mistake, over and over again.
Our minds become a maze of alternate endings, where every turn leads to another version of how things could have gone, leaving us trapped in fear and regret.
The Failing & Falling Podcast takes a second look at our stumbles and setbacks, and explores how to transform them into building blocks for healing, growth and success.
the BOOK
Moving through hard things takes time, and forward motion rarely happens at the pace we wish it would. What do we do with the in-between, the middle – when we’re not where we used to be but still not where we want to be?
Meditations for the Middle offers a thoughtful guide for navigating seasons of change, uncertainty, and growth. A perfect companion to the Failing & Falling podcast, this book extends its honest conversations into written form – and even offers a prompted journal as an additional resource.
Meditations for the Middle will be available 07.01.26. Click the button below to learn more, or sign up to receive a free downloadable copy of chapter one when it’s released.
