Welcome to "Mishtakes," where we love our quirks and learn from our mistakes. I’m Michelle—a management consultant, creative, and certified mistake maker.
In a world that often hushes failure, we celebrate our mistakes as essential steps toward personal growth. Each week, I’ll share solo discussions and 1:1 interviews with practical strategies for preventing mistakes and tackling challenges in relationships, finances, careers, and more. This is also a community and a brave space to share stories, give and seek advice, and connect with others who just get it.
Embracing the Dark: The Power of Negative Affirmations
In this episode of Mishtakes, we’re diving into the unexpected world of negative affirmations—the ones that make you face those parts of yourself you’d rather ignore. Instead of slapping a “positive vibes only” sticker on everything, we’re talking about how leaning into your flaws, doubts, and mess-ups can actually help you grow and heal for real.

Problems with Setting Boundaries? This one's for YOU!
Welcome to Mishtakes, the podcast where we celebrate our blunders and learn from them! I’m Michelle, your host and a proud certified mistake maker. Join me as we navigate the messy yet enlightening journey of personal growth through our mishtakes. Each episode is dedicated to embracing the reality that errors are not just setbacks, but stepping stones to valuable lessons.
In today’s episode, we’re exploring the importance of boundaries and the common missteps we often make while trying to establish them. I’ll share an insightful analogy that has helped me understand boundaries better, define what they truly are, and highlight some common pitfalls to avoid. Plus, I’m excited to share a simple plug-and-play script to help you confidently set your own boundaries.
Let’s dive in and turn our mishtakes into learning opportunities!
Show notes:
Boundary Script Example: “Hi [Person’s Name],
I know you appreciate [something they've enjoyed or find important] and that it holds significance for you. You are important to me, and that’s why I’d like to set a boundary regarding [specific boundary]. I have not been enjoying [the current situation] and it's essential for my well-being.
I recognize that setting this boundary might involve some risk, but my intention is to foster a more fulfilling relationship for both of us. If you’re willing, I believe this boundary will help us maintain our connection and ensure mutual respect."
Reflection Question
“What boundaries do you need to set in your own life to feel more secure and respected in your relationships?”
