We’ve all been told to avoid failure—but what if failure isn’t the enemy at all? In this episode, Ashleigh unpacks the powerful truth that fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Drawing from her own experiences on the CrossFit competition floor and the powerlifting platform, Ashleigh shares what it really feels like to face failure in front of a crowd—and why those moments became stepping stones to her greatest successes.

You’ll also hear the science behind fear and failure: how your brain responds when fear takes over, and why failure actually rewires you to become stronger and more resilient. Plus, stories of world-famous people who failed before they succeeded—Michael Jordan, J.K. Rowling, Walt Disney, Oprah Winfrey—reminders that failure is part of the process for everyone.

👉 If you’ve ever held yourself back because you didn’t want to let others down, or because you feared criticism, this episode is for you. It’s time to reframe failure, quiet the fear, and step fully into the arena.

Takeaway: Fear keeps you stuck. Failure moves you forward. And that’s where success is found.
