Why Luvvie Ajayi Jones Fully Embraced Fear and Failure

Trials To Triumphs

The author, professor and public speaker describes how tackling fears and accepting failures has changed her life—in the best possible way. But Ashley cringes at the word failure, so Luvvie offers a new perspective on how shortcomings can create “a better version of you” in the long run, opening up opportunities for growth. Luvvie and Ashley get into why one of the best cures for self doubt is affirming the trust others have in you when they’re “loaning their power” to you. One of Luvvie’s biggest secrets to success is leaning on her tribe for support and asking others for help. She says doing so “is life’s best cheat code.” She encourages Ashley and others not to “hoard our dreams” because you never know who has the keys to doors to achieve your goals.
