Episode notes
The Unmuted Mic That Could Have Ruined A Class
- Kristen shares a live fail when she thought she muted her mic while sick but didn't, broadcasting coughing and sneezing to her class.
- The story illustrates omission of a required action (not muting) and how it could have derailed her program if she spiraled.

- Separate action from identity: failure is something you do, not something you are.
- Kristen emphasizes that a human cannot be a failure and that distinguishing I failed from I am a failure is crucial.

- Childhood conditioning teaches failure aversion (grades, shame) which limits risk-taking later in life.
- Kristen argues we must unlearn 'do it right or don't do it at all' to allow the repeated mistakes needed for big success.
