The Truth About Failure: Why It’s the Secret to Success | EP 80
18 Mar 2025
What if failure was the key to success? In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Emilio, for a deep and personal conversation about failure, self-inquiry, and the lessons that have shaped my life. We talk about how I’ve navigated setbacks in business, the role of intuition in decision-making, and why taking personal responsibility changes everything. We also dive into emotional mastery, somatic work, and how working through triggers can lead to profound transformation. I opened up about childhood experiences that shaped my beliefs and how I’ve learned to shift them over time. From overcoming learning disabilities, being bullied, and following my intuition, this conversation is about what it really takes to grow, heal, and move forward. If you’ve ever felt stuck or questioned your next step, this episode is for you. === Have you watched our previous episode titled, The Most Powerful Somatic Tool + Guided Process?

Full Episode
I noticed that as soon as somebody is feeling like there's a failure, they look to point fingers to blame. And I think that's really toxic. I think it's a way to avoid feeling something. I fail all the time. People who are successful just keep going. With the learning disability label, I thought something was wrong with me. But now we can see that actually that disability is an ability.
You're going to have other abilities developed. I have ADHD. I have dyslexia and I run a successful company doing what I love, making an impact in the world. And so I just want to remind people, any of those labels, we can unlearn and we can take our power back from them and use them as a way to share our gifts that's only aligned with how we are designed. I left everything I knew.
I ended up leaving this relationship. I left San Diego. I left the graduate program. I followed my intuition. I worked with the fears that came up and I wanted to have a story about why, because it was so hard to leave. And I just remember being in my Honda Prelude with my life packed in my car. And there was a part of me that was confused and there was a deeper part of me that knew
I had to honor this. And that was one of the most courageous things that I'd done. And it opened me to the life that I have now, which is beyond my wildest dreams. Welcome back to the Healing and Human Potential podcast, where today's episode is a little different because I'm not the one asking questions. My husband's actually interviewing me. And I have to admit, this one feels extra vulnerable.
I've spent years coaching and supporting others through their challenges. But in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtains of my own struggles and And so I'll be sharing moments that didn't go as planned, the failures, the doubts, the lessons that I've learned along the way. And I know we all face setbacks and while they can be tough, they also have the power to shape us.
And so my intention in sharing this conversation is to help you learn about the things that I've navigated through the tough times so that they support you on your journey. I hope it serves you.
We're here with Alyssa Noriega on her podcast. I have the privilege today of interviewing this incredible human being. I am deeply grateful for all the ways you've touched my life. And I'm excited to get to put you in that chair for a little bit.
Thanks for holding space to share support.
So how does it feel to be on that side?
