How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/


If you've ever let a tiny oopsy consume your entire day, your evening, and your 2am thoughts, this one is for you. You’ll hear me share a client’s story who made her first mistake three weeks into her new job and let it ruin her whole night, and why that reaction is so much more common than you think. The problem isn't the mistake itself, it's that you start tying it to your worth as a person and suddenly you're not someone who made a mistake, you're convinced you are the mistake. It’s time to learn how to not dwell on this mistake for longer than you need to.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Making mistakes is the most human thing you could do
  2. What are you making this mistake mean about you or your capabilities?
  3. How to not let imposter syndrome convince you you’re not good enough
  4. Stop over apologizing
  5. Fix what you can fix, learn what you can learn, and then let it go
  6. The goal is never to never make a mistake again, it’s to react better
