Bouncing back from mistakes with Rachel Zhang

OK, let’s dig deep and practice a little self-compassion.

As humans we rely on our mistakes to help make us better people. In this episode, Rachel Zhang, Product and Experience Director at Ro&Co, teaches us her simple approach to bouncing back from mistakes and the importance of giving ourselves permission to royally screw up.

The inspiration for this deeply cathartic episode came from a hilarious post Rachel shared on LinkedIn that I highly recommend you check out.

In this episode:

  • [5:00] The pendulum swing of failure

  • [9:00] 5 steps for bouncing back from mistakes

  • [17:00] Failure resumés

  • [23:00] Rachel’s cringe moment

  • [23:30] Reaching out to Rachel

Warning: This episode contains a handful of naughty words. If you are of a sensitive disposition, you might want to skip!
