Summary
In this episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly talks about how to deal with the shame and guilt many entrepreneurs feel when they struggle, fail, or even (oddly enough) after they experience a period of success.
As entrepreneurs, we're wired to believe that failure is not an option. The reality, though, is that setbacks are a natural part of the business journey. Kelly is a successful entrepreneur and business coach who shares her experiences of facing failure and how she overcame the shame and guilt that came with it. She reminds us that the natural course of business requires us to recalibrate and reorganize our business, which can feel messy and hard.
Also in this episode:
- Why you should be celebrating 99% of the time
- The importance of mental acuity, patient trust, and spiritual connection
- It would help if you recalibrated and pruned your business
- Leaning on your team for support when you feel like a failure

| 0:58.6 | very personal and something that I think is one of the top saboteurs of amazingly talented, |
| 1:08.9 | high integrity people. And I know that's a lot of you that listen to this show. |
| 1:15.7 | I keep seeing this recurring trend where entrepreneurs who once had a very high level of success |
| 1:25.1 | in their business who then moved into a season of struggle are carrying a lot of shame. |
