The Woman Who Got Paid to Fail ~ Mindset, Self Confidence & Manifestation with Grace Miller
Pass Around the Smile®Show Notes
Smilies, something big is coming… Pass Around the Smile is so much more than a podcast, it's a whole world. Be the first to step inside https://passaroundthesmile.com/pages/subscribe Today's episode is such a special one! I'm joined by the incredible Grace Miller, who quite literally got paid as an actual job to fail. Grace was the Head of Failure and Experimentation at Steven Bartlett's Flight Story, and she joined the team back in 2022 when The Diary of a CEO had just 100,000 YouTube subscribers, riding the wave all the way to tens of millions and building an entire department around the idea that failing on purpose is actually the fastest way to grow.
We talk about her wild, subconscious manifestation story of landing her dream role in one single week, why she has never once felt comparison or self-doubt, and how she built psychological safety into a company culture so people actually felt safe to try.
We chat about: ~ How Grace subconsciously manifested her job at Diary of a CEO before she even knew it was possible ~ Why she has never experienced comparison or self-doubt, and how she reframed other people's success as their journey, not a measure of her own ~ What it actually means to run a "Failure and Experimentation" department, and how psychological safety changes everything ~ Her Red Bull fridge manifestation story (you have to hear this one) ~ Why undeniable optimism, not the absence of fear, is what gets you there ~ What she'd say to anyone sitting on an idea but too scared to take action If you've ever felt like your dreams are too far away, or that failure is something to hide rather than share, this episode is going to remind you that it doesn't have to take as long as you think, and it definitely doesn't have to be perfect. Grace has since taken the leap herself, launching Grace Experiments and Experiment Media. Grace Miller's links below. LinkedIn Grace Experiments on Instagram Grace on YouTube Grace's Website

Today I’m joined by Revie Jane ~ mum, founder, fitness coach and one of those people who somehow manages to be wildly motivating while also being completely real about the messy bits of life. Revie opens up about a part of her story that she hasn’t always found easy to share ~ growing up with an abusive father, a mother who was emotionally unavailable and later physically absent, and spending much of her teenage years in survival mode. She talks about feeling fundamentally unlovable, living with hypervigilance, and believing that the life she had been handed was simply the life she was destined to have. But then something started to shift. From being taken in by her friend’s family and experiencing a kind of love and safety she hadn’t known before, to discovering fitness and realising she could continually prove her own limiting beliefs wrong, Revie shares how she began to rewrite the story she had been telling herself. We talk about the belief that “I am not what has happened to me. I am who I choose to become,” and how that idea has shaped so much of the life she has created. We also get into: ✨ How Revie learned that she was lovable after spending years believing she wasn’t ✨ The people who showed her that love could be safe, consistent and unconditional ✨ How fitness became a way of rebuilding her self-confidence and changing the narrative in her head ✨ Why she believes we sometimes have to be a little “delusional” about what is possible for our lives ✨ Intuition, trusting your gut and knowing when an opportunity simply isn’t aligned ✨ The pressure of social media and why even confident, successful people still struggle with comparison and self-doubt ✨ The reality of building a successful business ~ and why bigger doesn’t always mean better ✨ How Revie learned that more money, more staff and a bigger business didn’t necessarily equal more happiness ✨ Why peace and contentment might be more important goals than constantly chasing the next thing ✨ Intrusive thoughts, anxiety and the importance of not letting your thoughts dictate your life ✨ The grounding techniques that help Revie when her mind gets loud This conversation is vulnerable, honest, funny and ultimately so full of hope. Because sometimes the life you’ve been given can make you believe that certain things simply aren’t meant for you. But your dream life doesn’t belong to someone else, it belongs to you. Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, neglect, suicidal thoughts and intrusive thoughts.
