Ep.03: How to Get Good at Failing w/ Caroline Winkler

Caroline Winkler is a YouTuber with over a million subscribers, the co-host of the Not for Everyone podcast, and a genuine, relationally-oriented, funny-as-hell person who says she failed so hard at her "big dream" of being an actor, that everything that has come after has felt like a second life. We're chatting about what happened when she decided to let her design-oriented YouTube channel get personal, why she wanted to celebrate a big milestone by making sure all of her loved ones felt a little pain, and how to get creative when you have to do something you hate. Carter talks about the sparkly spiritual dust that gets kicked up when she's in her flow, and wonders at how tolerating fear could make her feel more alive.
