Ep 1: Overcoming Failure in the Executive Function Journey

Failure is one of the most challenging obstacles we face in life - especially when trying to make big changes to our habits. It shakes our confidence, planting seeds of doubt that may ultimately lead to giving up on our self-improvement goals entirely. But if I told you failure was actually one of the best things that could happen in your journey, would you believe me? It sounds crazy, but the truth is failure gives us the insights we need to do better next time. In this week's episode, I'll be exploring how to reframe perceived failures as a critical part of reaching any goal, but particularly those that relate to improving Executive Function skills. You'll leave with practical tips, insightful strategies, and hopefully a renewed confidence to achieve the goals that are important to you or someone you're supporting.
