About this episode
On this episode, Dr. Shari Dade sits down with Dr. Kristina Seymour, a Clinical psychologist at the Columbia VA Health Care System. Dr. Seymour also serves on the Trauma Recovery Team (TRP) as a Rotation Supervisor. She is also a published author and creator of the Optimal Response Initiative (ORI) with Military, Civilian, and Primary Care Version Workbooks. Dr. Seymour is also the Founder of Share & Co. A Publishing company focused on empowering People to Share their Testimony, Time, Talent, Treasure!

In this episode they discuss moments of redirection and reroutes throughout her career and the risk of failure during these times. The episode examines the importance of deciding to look inward to determine if growth is worth the risk of failure.

Key Lessons:
1) Remember when you are learning something new there is a learning curve. You can figure it, but you must engage in the process of learning.
2) Take on reroutes with curiosity to move through the fear of failure. Embrace the reroutes because they could take you on a journey to your now.
3) Instead of thinking about the fear of failure, refocus on how you are contributing to the people involved. Broaden your perspective and focus on your experiences with others.
