Recording on the powerful 11:11 portal day, Donna shares a profound realization: failure is a cultural construct we've created, not an inherent truth. After six weeks into her new venture and some distance from pausing her coaching business, she reflects on what this volatile year has taught her about success, failure, and the journey in between.

From trying to launch a 5D business concept that people weren't ready for, to "selling herself out" by shrinking back to what made sense to others, Donna explores the lessons of 2025 with hindsight clarity. She discusses why timing matters as much as effort, how society's definitions of success and failure are just arbitrary constructs, and why Mercury retrograde is actually a gift for reflection and realignment.

This episode includes a beautiful story about finding a Pawley's Island shell after seeing signs for months, and walking alongside dolphins while raising the vibration of strangers on the beach - a perfect metaphor for how we're all here to help each other ascend in small, everyday ways.

You are on the right path. Take time today to reflect, manifest, and raise your vibration - even if it's just pointing out dolphins to strangers.
