What if failure wasn't something to fear, but something to celebrate? Discover how embracing failure can be the key to unlocking success in both your personal and professional life. Join us as we share inspiring stories, including Lindsay’s triumphant journey to becoming a licensed psychotherapist and our adventurous escapade in the Catskills, complete with a quirky wood-fired hot tub and an unexpected encounter with a black bear.

Dive into the wisdom of Jack Kornfield, a revered meditation teacher and former Buddhist monk, who believes that failure is essential for personal growth. We reflect on our own failures and how they’ve helped shape who we are today. Through Kornfield's teachings, we learn to view failure not as a setback, but as a valuable lesson. From the workplace to parenting, embracing our mistakes leads to resilience and meaningful self-improvement.

Explore Buddhist concepts like impermanence and suffering, and how they can help us navigate life’s ups and downs with grace. We discuss the importance of setting intentions and living with purpose, emphasizing that every action should have meaning. By understanding and integrating these teachings, we can reduce suffering, cultivate resilience, and live more fulfilling lives. And don’t miss our next episode where we'll be recording from the beautiful British Virgin Islands! Thank you for tuning in to "Living with Intention and Purpose" with Cleveland and Lindsay.
