Stepping Into the Unknown: When it all goes wrong (Part 2)

Published on: 25th September, 2023

Continuing from our last episode, today, we will chat about the less-than-favorable result of stepping into the unknown and having to deal with things going in the opposite direction. The important difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset is the willingness to learn from your experience, positive or negative, and apply it to the next adventure. Grace shares a personal story from a recent experience and wraps up with a few lessons you can take and put into practice today!
