What does it mean to fail, and how can we turn setbacks into stepping stones? In this episode, we sit down with Ashlynn Douglass Barnes, a Bariatric Therapist who had bariatric surgery 11 years ago, to explore how failure can become a powerful tool for personal growth. Ashlynn shares her unique perspective as both a professional therapist and someone who has personally navigated the challenges of weight loss and self-worth. From understanding how past experiences shape our perception of success to overcoming the fear of failure, she offers valuable strategies for reframing failure and building resilience.

✨ Key Discussion Points:

• Viewing failure as a learning opportunity
• Overcoming fear of failure in personal and professional life
• How childhood trauma shapes beliefs around success and failure
• Practical ways to reframe setbacks and cultivate growth
• The importance of self-worth, boundary-setting, and long-term healing

Ashlynn’s expertise in the bariatric community, combined with her personal journey, provides support and guidance for those on their own weight loss path.
