Ep 115 Navigating Disappointment, Lessons in Resilience
What do you do when something you were counting on doesn’t come through—and you’re left holding all the plans, hopes, and energy you’d already invested? In this episode of What Could Go Right?, we share the emotional rollercoaster of a business deal that fell apart and the ripple effects it had on our lives. If you’ve ever felt the sting of unmet expectations or the fog of ambiguous loss, you’re not alone. We’re exploring how to move through disappointment with grace, flexibility, and just enough hope to keep going. Because even when things don’t go as planned, growth is still possible—and maybe even something better is waiting.
Welcome to the What Could Go Right? Podcast. We’re your hosts: Erik Orton and Emily Orton. We talk about personal growth and sailing. In 2014, with little experience and less money, we bootstrapped a year on a sailboat with our five kids and it changed our lives forever. We tell the whole story in our book Seven at Sea. On this podcast, we want to help you go from fear to freedom one adventure at a time.
