Join us in this enlightening episode as we sit down with Nina Sossamon-Pogue, a renowned keynote speaker, author, former USA gymnast, Emmy-winning news anchor, and tech executive. Nina and I dive deep into our experiences with perfectionism, failure, and identity crises, sharing candid stories and valuable insights.
Nina highlights how perfectionism can be a debilitating mindset that prevents individuals from reaching their true potential. Together, we offer practical tips for reframing failure, seeking help, and cultivating a more joyful and fulfilling life.

We also discuss Nina's book, "THIS is Not the End: Strategies to Get You Through The Worst Chapters of Your Life", which offers strategies for navigating difficult times and emerging stronger. Reflect on Nina's journey from gymnastics to journalism, the role of mentors, and the evolution of her career influenced by perfectionism. Hear about the pressures of ageing, maintaining appearance, and finding a balance between personal and professional life.

Nina and I also delve into mental health, sharing personal stories of overcoming depression, trauma, and the importance of self-awareness and support networks. This episode is a tapestry of life lessons, resilience, and hope, aiming to inspire you to see failure not as an end, but as a crucial part of the journey towards a more meaningful life.
