Today, I'm sharing a story about a huge spelling error we discovered in our "Beyond Business" series. You'd think with all the eyes on it—from my team to Telus themselves—we would've caught it, but nope! What's wild is how I reacted, or rather, didn't react. Usually, something like this would send me spiraling, but this time, I actually managed to just... let it go. And that's what this episode is all about: how I cultivated the skills to release that emotional baggage and stay calm, even when something I care deeply about isn't "perfect." It's a huge win for me, and I truly believe if I can do it, you can too. Tune in to hear my journey and learn how to build your own "let it go" muscles!
