Permission to Fail: It Isn't the F-word You Think it Is
Is there a moment in your life you secretly carry as proof that you failed… even though no one else knows?
In this tender and transformational episode, Robyn White invites you to reimagine failure—not as the end of your story, but as part of how you become. Drawing on insights from Three Permissions, neuroscience, and client experiences, you'll learn how to approach failure with compassion, adjust your definition of success, and act with courage in the messy middle.
You’ll also discover how your brain is wired to learn through setbacks—and how to use micro-permissions, breathwork, and reframing to reduce shame and build resilience.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why failure activates your brain’s learning centers (not just your shame loop)
- How to reframe “sunk cost” into stepping stones
- What exhale-dominant breathing does for stress recovery
- Three Permission Principles - Approach, Adjust, Act, and how they support your self-leadership
This episode is for anyone carrying disappointment, trying to bounce back, or afraid even to begin.
You are not broken. You are becoming. And you’ve got permission.
