How to overcome fear of failure

When I first messaged Tiwa King in 2018, it was because I wanted her to be on the vodcast that I was hosting at the time

Which allowed me to interview amazing women like Stacii Jae Johnson, Tabitha Brown and more

This was after I had been blown away by her rendition of "Glory" while sitting in the audience of TEDx Peckham that Summer

You can see it here

The result? She ghosted me...or so I thought... because I didn't hear back from her for another 2 years!

I made the mistake of DMing her on Facebook messenger rather than emailing, so she didn't see my message

Fast forward to now and the interview that we eventually did has birthed many beautiful things, such as:

1) Our sisterhood

We’ve literally been locked in since that first conversation- to the point that she was the first person that I told about Media Magic when I first got the idea to host retreats for women in business who want to go from stumped to savvy about PR while in the lap of luxury

2) Tiwa’s PR journey

I had the privilege of supporting Tiwa with her branding, messaging and media bio in the initial stages of her visibility journey. Since then, she has gone on to consult in schools, major corporations such as the NHS as well as appear on platforms such as the BBC and CNN (and I couldn’t be prouder!)

3) A purposeful partnership

Not only was Tiwa the first person that I told about Media Magic, she was the first person to catch the vision and say yes to lending her great talents to it as a guest host. At Media Magic 2024 she helped us to “S.O.A.R - See, Overcome, Affirm and Release” our limiting beliefs, this year she helped us “Rewrite, Reframe and Rise” above our stories and I can’t wait to see what she’ll do next year (and beyond)

When I compare these outcomes to how our friendship began, I think our story is a clear demonstration of the importance of failing forward in order to succeed

Because, to summarise Denis Waitley, “failure [was] our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure [was] delay, not defeat. It [was] a temporary detour, not a dead end” and it can be the same for you too. Will you let it be, though?


To quote Holly Haynes, “I can give you the exact steps and strategy, but if your mindset and your psychology are not in it, it’s not going to work”. That's why, at Media Magic, we don't just give you PR strategy- we also deal with the limiting belief systems that are holding you back from success, through Tiwa King's sessions

But don't just take my word for it…
