51: A participation medal isn’t going to teach your kids resilience by Penelope Valentine

Today, we continue the conversation with a woman who is living proof that out of the tattered ego of failure rises your dreams.  Today, she is the co-founder of Property Alchemy with her husband of 16-years where they bustle about parenting 3 kids; you’d be surprised to note that while relentlessly trying IVF almost 10yrs ago, the business her and her husband had built and grown for 5yrs, came tumbling down.  And as they say, when it rains, it pours! 

When their company went under, Penelope Valentine and her husband committed to paying back each and every person they owed money to and are proud to say they have now done it!  That one child that inspired them to not give up on IVF, has now swelled to three kids and life has become about teaching others that FAILURE should not be feared or avoided but rather accepted and understood.

Thank you Penelope for opening up to us all today on how failure has shaped your family and how you now teach your children to embrace it.
