Episode 53: The Power of the Setback: Why Your Struggle Is Setting You Up for a Stronger Comeback
Episode Summary
In this episode, I’m sharing five powerful steps to help you bounce back from life’s setbacks and step into your comeback season with clarity and confidence. Over the past few years, I’ve experienced one setback after another—personally—while my business continued to soar. And what I’ve learned is that challenges don’t disqualify you. In fact, they can refine and reposition you if you respond the right way.
Whether you’ve experienced a failed launch, a personal disappointment, or you’re just feeling stuck, this episode will help you get honest about what happened, feel your emotions without being consumed by them, extract the lessons, and take intentional steps forward. I’m walking you through what it really means to be resilient—not by pushing past your pain, but by honoring it, learning from it, and refusing to let it define you.
This conversation is real, raw, and full of truth that will help you rebuild from the inside out.
