In this segment of her YouTube video, Natalie Fisher challenges the common perception of failure by highlighting the courage it takes to attempt difficult goals. She shares a recent coaching session with a client who spent five years trying to obtain Australian citizenship and feels discouraged by the lack of success. Fisher reframes the situation, suggesting that the client’s perseverance and willingness to venture into a new country demonstrate bravery that many people never experience. She encourages viewers to view their own setbacks as evidence of daring rather than sources of shame, promoting a mindset that celebrates the act of trying.

The thing that you're saying I failed at, there's other people saying to that same thing, I wish I'd been willing to try that. And I was just coaching a client this morning, and she, she had been to Australia and tried to get her citizenship there and failed for 5 years, and she was feeling pretty down about it. And saying like, I've been doing this for 5 years and I failed. And I was thinking to myself, you know how many people are thinking, wow, she's so courageous, she had the guts to go there and go to a brand new place and try to figure it out? Like, so what if you failed? You had the courage to try, and that's more than a lot of people can say.
