How to Process Failure Without Spiralling (TOP ACT Method)
I auditioned for TEDx and honestly, it didn't go as planned. I'm sharing what happened because the best learning comes from moments like these. In this episode, I walk you through my TOP ACT method - a powerful tool I use personally and with clients to process failure, silence imposter syndrome, and transform disappointment into growth. This isn't about perfection; it's about learning how to bounce back stronger.
