 Happy 2026, Menobodies! 🎉
We know the new year can bring excitement and anxiety — the pressure to have a “perfect year” can feel heavy. But this episode is all about rethinking that pressure and shifting our mindset toward empowerment.

Today’s Topic
The F-word: Failure.

(Sure… sometimes the other one too. 😆)We’re diving into why failure feels so big and scary — and how redefining it can set us free.

What We Cover
✨ Why failure feels like a threat
✨ Where those beliefs come from (society, family, childhood experiences)
✨ How “not failing” can become a quest for safety, love, & approval
✨ Shame, guilt, loneliness — the heavy emotional cost
✨ Tools to rewire your mindset
✨ How ditching the word “failure” makes us unstoppable

Why Failure Feels Like a Big Deal
So many of us grew up learning that mistakes meant:
  • Disappointment

  • Rejection

  • Embarrassment

  • Loss of love or acceptance

No wonder we fear it!
That pressure leaves a mark — a deep-brain groove telling us failure = danger.

Changing the MindsetRewiring the brain takes intention:
🧠 Hear it
👀 See it
💭 Think it
🗣 Say it
✍️ Write it
🔁 Repeat it

Ideas to try:
  • Add affirmations to daily habits (like brushing teeth)

  • Journal progress & self-kindness

  • Sticky notes on your mirror or steering wheel

  • Buddy up with someone who gets it

  • Set reminders to speak encouragement aloud

What We Say Instead
🌱 Mistakes help us grow
🌱 It’s how we handle a mistake that defines success
🌱 There’s no such thing as failure — only learning
🌱 I am not a failure.
🌱 I made a mistake and I can make it right.

These new messages become the new groove — the new railroad track for the brain to follow.

What Happens When We Stop Believing in “Failure”?We become:
💪 Kinder to ourselves
💪 More resilient
💪 Less afraid to try
💪 More compassionate with others

When we remove “failure” from our vocabulary, we create kinder communities and healthier minds.

And bonus: we model that same grace for the people in our lives.

Real-Life Menopause ExamplesYou are NOT a failure if:
⬤ You’re not losing weight
→ Get curious, ask questions, seek support
⬤ Mood swings take over your words
→ Apologize, rest, check in with your doctor
⬤ Symptoms feel overwhelming
→ You are allowed help, compassion, and care

This space — this Menobodies community — is a soft place to land. 🫶
