EP 012: Why Failure Feels Personal: Here's How to Break Free and Move Forward

What if the “dirty word” failure is actually your greatest gateway to growth?
In today’s episode, Amy dives into the creative’s curse‑and‑call: as makers, our work is wrapped up in our identity—and when something doesn’t land, we feel it in our soul. But what if instead of letting a failed launch, a silent sale, or a rejected idea define us—we used it to refine us?
She unpacks how failure touches your work but does not define your worth, and how God uses what looks like setback to set up something greater.
You’ll hear:

• Why failure hurts deeper for creatives (because you are your art)

• The “artist fear‑loop” and how it traps you in hesitation → stalling → giving up

• How to reframe your view: failure = feedback, not finality

• Three actionable moves to go from stuck → stepping forward in your calling

• Why your mistakes may become the fuel for your message, your platform, or your ministry
  If you’ve ever felt defeated by a project that didn’t work, compared yourself to someone “doing it better,” or wondered if your creative calling was real—this episode is your permission slip to rise again.

Take‑away challenge: This week pick one “failed” thing in your creative/business life—ask, What is this teaching me? Then schedule one bold next step based on that question.
