🎭 You Made the Best Choice You Could
🕒 Episode Length: 34 minutes

Have you ever made a choice and later thought, “Was that the wrong decision?” Or felt bad about something you did even though it made sense at the time? You’re not alone—and in this episode of Capes & Conversations, we talk about why every decision you make is a part of learning and growing.

💥 In this episode, we explore:
✨ Katniss from The Hunger Games and how bravery doesn’t always mean knowing the outcome
✨ Joel from The Last of Us and how fear of mistakes can freeze us
✨ Why it’s okay if your past choices weren’t perfect—they were based on what you knew at the time
✨ What it means to grow confidence by making small decisions and learning from feedback
✨ How standing up, taking a step, and trying again builds self-trust
✨ Why being a rebel with a cause is brave—but being a rebel without one is just defiance

💡 Key Takeaway:
You’re going to make a lot of choices in life—and some won’t turn out the way you hoped. That doesn’t make you bad. It makes you human. Every decision helps you learn, grow, and unlock your next level of power. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep trying.

🌱 Hero Reflection Questions:
🤔 What’s one decision you made recently that you learned from?
🤔 Do you sometimes get stuck worrying about what you should’ve done?
🤔 Can you think of a hero who made a mistake but kept going anyway?
🤔 What helps you stay in the present moment instead of getting stuck in the past?
