What if the setbacks that nearly stopped you in your tracks were actually nudges pushing you toward something bigger? In this inspiring episode of the Anti-Failure Podcast, Chris reconnects with long-time friend Lish Feia, an ABC presenter, science communicator, and co-founder of FixIt Chicks, to peel back the curtain on a career built not despite failure, but because of it.

Lish’s journey from making science come alive for kids with the Questacon Science Circus, to helping everyday Australians cut their energy bills, to rebooting her career after a surprise contract non-renewal, shows how change, even when devastating, can become an unexpected launchpad. Chris and Lish explore the value of persistence, the vulnerability of reinvention, and the power of sharing struggles openly to discover that you are in fact, not alone.

Whether you’re starting over, facing uncertainty, or just looking for a pep talk from someone who’s been there (and bounced forward), Lish’s story is equal parts honest, relatable, and uplifting.

Tune in to hear why finding your way sometimes means getting lost first, and how the path to making a difference is rarely a straight line.
