Well said, David. I’ve learned this the hard way too. When I’ve tried to skip grief, it leaked out sideways and I over-invested in the next opportunity, needing it to prove that one professional failure doesn’t define me as a person. Taking time to grieve…through journaling, therapy, conversation…helps me complete an experience rather than carry it forward. Then I can step into what’s next with clarity instead of unfinished business.
Appreciate this David. Failure is a taboo topic we don't talk about honestly. But is part of a life and can be a learning experience. Thanks for the honestly!

You’re very welcome. I try to challenge the taboos from time to time
