Stop Letting Your Mistakes Define You

Share This Post

Ladies, let’s get real for a second. How many times have you looked at yourself and thought, Wow, I really screwed that up. Guess I’m just a failure? Maybe you forgot to pick up your kid from soccer practice (hi, guilty as charged), or made a decision that blew up in your face. It happens. But newsflash: your screw-ups do NOT define you.

Let’s talk about those labels we slap on ourselves every time life doesn’t go according to plan.

  • “I’m a bad mom” because you missed one pickup or packed Lunchables instead of a Pinterest-perfect bento box.
  • “I’m a loser” because you made a choice that didn’t pan out.
  • “I’m a failure” because something didn’t work the first time (or the fifth).

Here’s the truth: messing up is part of the human experience. It’s baked into the deal. Nobody—and I mean nobody—is out here living a perfectly curated mistake-free life. Not even the women who’ve somehow figured out how to make their own almond milk (do they even sleep?).

Mistakes are not the enemy. They’re the messy, uncomfortable classrooms where we grow. You’re not your mistakes. You’re the badass who’s learning from them, evolving, and getting stronger every time. It’s not about being flawless; it’s about being resilient.

As I tell my Fierce Confidence program members on day one: You’re not born with confidence. It’s developed in the trenches. Confidence comes from showing up for yourself again and again, even when the world (and your inner critic) tries to knock you down.

So, next time you hear that voice whispering, You’re not good enough, remind it who’s boss. You are a strong, multi-dimensional woman with endless potential. Your past doesn’t get to decide your future.
