☔️ When It Rains, It Pours! How to Reframe FAILURE and Keep Moving Forward

 

Listen to full episode :

 

Ever had one of those weeks where everything seems to go wrong?

This week, RV Queens Podcast host Kate White found herself completely knocked out by a mystery virus—six days in bed, zero energy, and absolutely no productivity. On top of that, unexpected expenses piled up, from truck repairs to insurance bills, and even her visiting in-laws (whom she loves) were sick too. It was one of those weeks.

As Kate rested, her mind kept running in circles, replaying one frustrating thought: I’m failing. She found herself dwelling on everything she wasn’t doing—missed podcast recordings, canceled meetings, unanswered emails. But in the midst of it all, she had a realization: her worth isn’t tied to her productivity.

And neither is yours!

In this solo episode, Kate shares her personal struggle with rest, productivity, and self-worth, unpacking why so many high-achieving women feel guilty when they’re forced to slow down. She also breaks down the four mindset shifts that helped her escape the “failing storm” and reframe her week in a healthier way.

Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Zoom Out on the Bigger Picture

    • A tough week feels massive in the moment, but will it matter in a month? Probably not.

2️⃣ Separate Tasks from Self-Worth

    • Failing at a task doesn’t mean you are a failure. Productivity isn’t the measure of personal value.

3️⃣ Look for the Lesson

    • Challenges always carry lessons. The sooner they’re learned, the less they repeat.

4️⃣ Finding Community in Unexpected Places

    • Life storms don’t last forever, and often, something good is waiting on the other side. 

For fellow travelers, business owners, and dreamers who have ever felt behind, this episode is a reminder to give yourself grace and redefine what success actually means.
