Show Notes

Some people see failure as a negative or as a deficit.  The truth is, failure is the fastest way to learn, expand, and grow.  It’s a really simple concept that's really hard to do.  

“Failed it” is a series of episodes dedicated to celebrating one thing. Failure. I believe the highest levels of growth, expansion, and freedom come as a result of failure.  They’re all waiting on the other side of fear.  

I created failed it, from conversations with all of my guests this season.  They were asked to recall a failure they experienced in the past, what they learned from it, and how they grew and expanded as a result.  

My hope is that you will learn from their failures and go out and make even better mistakes.  Get out there and fail today!

The first person up is Charlotte Fowles who in her episode discussed years of trauma, a failed marriage, depression, and skin cancer.

We then have Daniel Allen who discussed stepping away from a faith he grew up with and even led within as an adult.

Next is Alex Dumas who in his episode discussed the confusion he felt growing up trying to find his identity, fit in, and be loved.  He also shared how he bounced back from a failed business, the death of his mother, and a new baby in the home.

After that is Eloise Eaton who discussed hiding for most of her life and how she uses superhero moments to step into fear.

After Eloise is Ashley Newberg who discussed growing up being afraid of speaking up and going through intensive therapy as an adult which transformed her life.  

Last up is my baby brother Forest Melton.  In his episode, he discussed the struggle of a breakup and a courageous conversation he had with our Dad.
