15. Not a Failure, Just a Test: Rewriting the Story of Setbacks
Manage episode 475624075 series 3642140
Episode Description:
In this episode of Third Act Unscripted, Katie shares the hilarious and humbling experience of completely flaming out on a Spanish test while studying abroad. But what starts as a funny story quickly reveals deeper layers—childhood memories, old patterns of perfectionism, and the discomfort of being a beginner again. Annie and Katie unpack what it means to “level up or give up,” why midlife often echoes our earlier years, and how laughter and self-compassion help lighten the load when failure knocks.
Whether you’re facing a tough moment or just need a reminder that growth can be messy, this episode offers real talk, comic relief, and encouragement to keep going.
