What we can learn from failure

Written by Danjela Falzon
We live in a society where being successful or ‘being the best’ is given enormous value.

Self-compassion

Written by Danjela Falzon
Could you imagine a good friend calling to tell you she didn’t get the job she interviewed for and replying – ‘Well, what were you thinking applying for that job anyway? It’s well out of your league.
