Normalize Failure Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

Let's Normalize Failure as failures are simply pitstops along the road to success. It's important to note that failure isn’t final, it's an opportunity to learn, grow, and do better next time. In this episode we define "failure" and "success" while sharing personal stories of failures that actually led to valuable lessons learned. If you want to know how to bounce back from a loss then tune in.
Top quotes

"Don’t let the fear of failure cause you to miss out on doing some amazing things" Paul
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
"Only those that fail greatly can ever achieve greatly” Robert Kennedy

According to WHO, three times as many men as women die by suicide and men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women, it’s time to talk about this.
Since June is recognized as Mens health month, We decided to have a man cave discussion about MENtal Health. This episode features an uplifting & transparent conversation designed to help you to thrive mentally & emotionally. If you are a woman, this would be good for you to hear as well, so you can better understand the men in your life. Our guests today open up about their mental health struggles as it relates to the lost of a parent (Irvin) and the lost of a child (Bryan).
