Summary
Today I want to reframe the way you think about failure. I want to clear up the misunderstanding most people have about what it is, what causes it and what it means about us and our lives. I also want to talk to you specifically about the question many moms have, "What if I am failing at being a mom?"; I am all for doing better but I want you to make those changes from a place of empowerment rather than from a place of shame.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Jody Moore at Bold New Mom. This is episode number 98 when you feel like a failure. |
| 0:08.7 | This is Bold New Mom, a podcast for women and some of my favorite men who know that the best |
| 0:13.9 | gift they can give their kids is a happy, healthy, thriving mother. If you're ready to be bold and |
| 0:19.6 | you're ready to be a new version of you, you're in the right place. |
| 0:25.0 | Hey there everybody, how's it going? Welcome to the podcast. Thanks so much for tuning in. |
| 0:30.4 | And listening. Today's topic comes from one of my beloved clients and members of the Be Bold |
| 0:39.1 | program. She sent me an email and made a request for this topic. So I thought it was a really good |
| 0:45.7 | one. She said, you know, a lot of us people, but especially women, especially moms, feel like a |
| 0:53.2 | failure. For example, Mother's Day. We have a lot of thoughts about how we're not cutting it and |
| 0:58.8 | not doing a good enough job. Or even though we know we shouldn't, we compare ourselves to other people. |
| 1:05.7 | Or what about if my kid isn't good or what about if my child isn't getting good grades? |
| 1:12.0 | And I know this doesn't necessarily make me a failure, but it sure does feel like it. |
| 1:18.1 | So I love this topic. I want to address this today and I think it is a really important one. I think |
| 1:22.8 | it's important for us to understand failure, not only for ourselves and how we're feeling about |
| 1:29.2 | our lives and our roles as mothers and whatever else we do, but also I want to teach you some |
| 1:35.2 | different ways to think about failure, to help you try to reframe failure for your children and |
| 1:40.7 | the other people in your life. Okay. So first of all, I want you to know that the definition that I like |
| 1:48.0 | to use of failure is that it's not meeting your own expectations of yourself. |
| 1:55.5 | That definition is just my own paraphrasing of a definition on Google, but really that's it. |
| 2:02.8 | It's just not meeting your own expectations of yourself. So to me, that definition is beautiful |
| 2:13.5 | because it's so simple and it's so not a big deal. Right. We make failure be this terrible thing |
| 2:20.5 | that we're all terrified of and that many people don't take the action that they want to take in |
