Failure gets a bad rap. Maybe you've grown up hearing the phrase: "Failure is not an option." We've been programmed to believe this, but what if failure is the necessary ingredient for achieving greatness?
Viewing failure as winning or learning means we never really fail. We see it as a win-win scenario where we get to co-create with the universe. We become the uncommon person who shows up in the ring every day for the sake of our bigger vision because we're not afraid to fail. We know it is the insurance of our greatness.

In this replay from a live video in The Craft Your Confidence Collective, an amazing community to help you take a deeper dive into the topics discussed on The Craft Your Confidence Podcast. In this episode, learn how embracing imperfection invites us to experience our human-ness, allowing us to embrace the messy parts to discover magical mistakes and loving the every minute of the process.
In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and fellow certified life and weight coach, Heather Beardsley who helps women to thrive in midlife. We riff on the topic of perfectionism and how this keeps us stuck in scarcity. We share oodles of inspiration and truth bombs to help you get unstuck, and our own personal vulnerability and willingness (even though it's hard!) to let go of the bonds of perfection. We shed light on why saying YES to imperfection is the green light to take a deep breath and relax and become the "curious watcher" on the journey to your authenticity.

See you in class!
With all the lockdowns and kids at home from school, it's so easy to allow our brain to go to the extreme and think only in worst-case scenario. With patience and a plan, you can identify what is within your control and let go of the rest.
We CAN choose PROACTIVITY, not reactivity.
Now more than ever, we can "live into the future" and create a new set of beliefs and possibilities ... paint a new picture. We can use this as an opportunity to grow, not shrink, hide or run the other way.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why creating a plan gives you power and confidence
- Focus on what is in your control and let go of the rest
- Why hitting the pause button in your life gives clarity
- Living in the moment = stillness and abundance
- Time management as a form of "mind management"
- How NOT to choose victimhood
A rising tide really does lift all boats, and this is OUR TIME to show up and to think in a whole new way.
We have a great opportunity right now to get scrappy and discover new things and the solution is right in front of you. You just have to be open to it.
A crisis intensifies what is already there that we may not be facing. If we are open to it, we will see with clarity what our real WORK is.
In this episode I share my support for the challenges we're collectively sharing during this Coronavirus crisis. This episode is off-the-cuff, raw and unpolished with no bells or whistles ... just me hopping on the mic to talk about courage in the face of fear, allowing grace and allow the gifts of vulnerability to move though us.
Do you find all the reasons to not do what you say you will? Your reptilian brain is screaming: "me no wanna! I just want to knit and Netflix!"
How can you possibly resist? The idea of knitting is perfect considering it's been a long day, and you really want to watch that docuseries on Netflix. "I deserve to kick back," you tell yourself.
What is at play here is resistance. We choose to do what feels good instead of the things that will help us reach our great potential.
Resistance is so sneaky because it will always convince us to doing something that feels good instead of doing what's hard.
We find all the excuses … I’m hungry … I’m tired. I’m sick.
So many things that seem believable and then before you know it, your goals become wishes.
What happens when resistance comes for a visit:
-
When things get hard, we look for things that make us feel good
-
This is our primitive brain kicking in. IT. WILL. WIN if you let it
-
Natural tendency - we want to always seek comfort
-
We would rather take the path of least resistance
-
Humans by nature are lazy
-
The GOOD NEWS - this means you are a normal functioning human
How to overcome it:
-
Plan for it! It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN
-
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
-
You will allow the urge to NOT do what you say you will do.
-
The payoff of discomfort? You get to reach your ULTIMATE goals.
Discomfort is the currency of your dreams.
-Brooke Castillo
When it comes to planning, simple and scrappy is my philosophy.
Planning starts with just one sheet of paper and I show you how in this episode!
No fancy bells or whistles …
Just YOU, a pen and paper and your earbuds to listen to this episode!
Planning is the runway ... then you take off and fly!

Indecision keeps you from going all-in. You wonder what the "right" way is. BUT someone else's right could be your wrong. In this part 2 of my 3-part series, I continue with the 3 "sneaky saboteurs" that keep you stuck and how to overcome them
Today we're talking about the 3 "dream stealers" that keep us from carrying out our best-laid plans.
Today I'm continuing on with my Tame Your Time series talking all things annual goals and how to create your very own vision board! Why do we resist planning ahead? It's because by nature we are actually lazy, and our normal tendency is to do what's easy. This causes fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants kind of problems. I show you how NOT to do that!
You can also see how I've been setting up my new Knitter's Planner page-by-page so you can set yourself up for success here:
https://www.karagottwarner.com/UnpluggedWednesday to see the video of my vision board and my philosophy when it comes to annual goal planning.
When you understand why we procrastinate or avoid doing what's hard -- that's when we are on to ourselves. That's when we actually have to tools to do something about it.
In The Knitter's Planner, and in most planners, you'll find this section. In this episode, I share the HOW and WHY of checking-in daily with your highest goals, and why writing and re-write them sets you up for success.
I also talk about something called a vision board, and how I like mine to look like something out of an art journal. I also riff on how I started this process many years ago, and how it inspires me to stay connected to my goals.
A vision board is a space that is up to wherever your imagination takes you. Add quotes, affirmations, paste in pictures from magazines ... whatever.
There's no right or wrong way. Just YOUR way!
When it comes to annual goal planning, The Knitter's Planner allows space for 3 big goals because studies have shown that any more than 3 could make it difficult to stay committed to any of them.
Stay small to go BIG.
I want you to achieve extraordinary success, and if you take the time to plan the goals that will move the needle in your life that will make all your other goals easier or unnecessary you will blow your own mind at the end of 2020.
I also talk about the 3 quadrants that I make sure to include in my annual goals: (in this order)
- Health and wellness
- Relationships
- Work/business
Choosing goals in one of these 3 quadrants creates a harmonious way to counterbalance each area.
Action Step - If you've purchased your knitter's planner, open it to your 2020 annual goals page and map out your goals for 2020. Don't delay. Make it happen!
