Recently, I had one of those gut-punch moments every creator dreads: a dream interview, a perfect conversation… and I realized afterward that I never hit record. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and, honestly, it shook me more than I expected. Instead of hiding it, I’m bringing the whole story here, the missteps, the emotions, and the lesson I learned about giving myself grace when things go wrong. And I’m not alone. In today’s episode, other creators from our community open up about their own podcasting fails. What starts as a collection of mistakes becomes something much more meaningful: a reminder that every podcaster, no matter how experienced, eventually stumbles.

If you’ve ever felt the sting of a creative setback, this conversation is here to remind you you’re human… and you’re in good company.

We’ll be taking Thanksgiving week off (Nov 24–28) to rest and recharge. See you on December 1st, 2025.
