Let's talk about failure. The Comments Section with E & V

The Broke Generation

This week, we're diving into the messy reality of failure. We’re unpacking the modern narrative that every failure must teach us something or shape our success. But let's be real—sometimes, failure is just failure. From botched jobs to disastrous side hustles, we’ve all been there. We explore the pressure to be grateful for failures, even when they don’t neatly fit into our life’s success story. Ever tried to spin getting fired from a waitressing gig into a stepping stone? It’s a stretch.

We also touch on the emotional weight of redundancy and how some failures don’t need to be transformed into life lessons. Maybe they’re just missteps we’d rather forget. And while failure can build resilience, not every misstep needs to be a defining moment. Join us as we share our own flops, from failed fitness kicks to embarrassing work blunders, and how we’ve learned that sometimes, it’s okay to just move on without turning every failure into a victory lap.
