Failure Fridays

Each Friday, I anonymously feature real stories from people navigating career struggles, identity shifts, burnout, rejection, layoffs, self-doubt, leadership pressure, and the messy reality behind success. Examples like,

• "I had the executive title, the beautiful house, the family, the career that people envied, and yet, I felt completely miserable."

• "I remember begging to be demoted because the pressure of leadership felt unbearable."

• "I got cut from a professional sports team in a four-minute conversation and had to pack up my locker and leave."

If you've ever felt like you were failing you are not alone. Submit your examples (form below), and each Friday I will choose a couple to feature anonymously, never revealing your identity. Because behind every success story, there's a chapter that felt like failure.

No names. No companies. Just honesty.
