Description

GENESIS: The Failing Forward Podcast is the home of leaders who don’t quit. Hosted by Lady Jaye, this show is about turning setbacks into setups for purpose.


Every episode dives into real stories, practical lessons, and honest conversations about what it means to fail forward—not as an identity, but as a movement. Here, failure is a verb, not an adjective. It’s something you experience, learn from, and rise beyond.


From personal journeys to leadership insights, you’ll hear how to reframe failure as a beginning, extend yourself grace in the process, and build resilience, creativity, and empathy that can transform your life and work.


If you’re ready to shift your focus from “why me?” to “what’s next?” and step into your Genesis moment, this podcast is for you.
