"Muscle memory isn't real. Muscles are dumb." 
 
The words of Andrew Huberman, First name / friend!
 
Last week, many of the discussions we had online with you all centered around failure being our best teacher and practicing performing before we think we're ready (therefore making errors). A few of you had questions, and this comment will probably relate to you: 
 
“I sometimes worry practicing fast and then making mistakes will make me learn it wrong.”
 
Tiffany here and I'd be surprised if any of us had NOT had that thought! We are taught that mistakes are bad, we just need more muscle memory and perfect practice makes perfect. 
 
YIKES. 
 
Today, let's let some truth set us free and dig into why errors and frustration are essential in learning and how to apply this concept to practice. It involves maps 🗺  and cocktails 🍹 , so I hope you're ready for the fun kind of science.

// Your Career Questions and Worries // 
 
“How can I create stability?” “I feel like I'll never be good enough.” “How do I achieve balance?” “How do I make a living while also having diversity in what I do?" A week or so ago we put a question box on IG asking what your career worries are and we got a lot of responses. We put them into 5 categories and we're focusing on one a day this week! Monday was about burnout, Tuesday about stability and today is about confidence! Check out the IG highlight to follow along.
 
Hope these tips and resources are helpful and we're wishing you a great rest of your week!
