Sometimes, the biggest setbacks can lead to the most important changes in our lives. A moment that feels like failure can be the push we need to grow, shift direction, or realize what matters.
For me, it was getting arrested, losing my career and sense of self. At the time, it felt like I had lost everything, and there was no coming back. I was doomed to a life of mediocrity.
But in reality, that experience forced me to make some big changes in my life. I got clean, I rebuilt my confidence and today, I’m in a better place than I’ve ever been. That low point was the catalyst I needed to really change.
What about you? What’s a failure or setback that turned out to be a blessing in disguise? 27 replies

A few years ago, at the beginning of 2018, both @kateyarter and I both lost our jobs in the same month 🫣 both due to a company restructuring.. go figure. That was a hella tough year with more challenges than I could list, but we have four kids so you can imagine haha. BUT, during that tough year we got scrappy, resourceful, strong and pushed hard to create our first art studio and store front. To say "fuck it" to the normal way of doing things, and the system that wasn't helping us grow and find /success. The rest is history! We have always been artists, but the failure that presented itself pushed us further than we thought we could go. Blessing in disguise? In the middle of the challenge it can be hard to see, but on the other side, a HUGE push toward success! 1 reply
