Where in the previous Screwed Up Moments Plus we were able to learn a little bit about the co-founders of Happiness Initiative and why they started Screwed Up Moments, today we are going to be learning about their social enterprises as well as those of others!

If you were to come across a life-changing event, perhaps a near brush with death or the passing of a loved one, how would you react? Would you take a moment from your busy life to reflect and deal with your own problems? Or would you stick to the same old routine? In this episode of the Screwed Up Moments podcast, we explore these questions with the story of Zai Miztiq. Previously, Zai had led an exciting and fast-paced lifestyle building up her henna art business. She was invited to many events, interviewed for numerous publications, and even had a 6 month stint in Japan where she introduced and promoted her craft. However, her hectic life would come to a sharp stop when she met with a car accident, broke her spine, and was told that she could never walk anymore.

We are often drawn to stories of success and triumph, and for good reason, they make us feel good or they inspire us to be better. But the other side is also equally important. For these are the harsh realities behind the veneer of success. Such as, failing to realize a dream, or simply incurring some tragic misfortune. In other words, these are Screwed Up Moments. And the point of this is not to wallow in people’s misery, or to glorify failure. Rather, these are moments for empathy, vulnerability, and redemption. Where we lend a shoulder and say it’s ok to fail, and it’s ok to try again. For our first season we will be speaking to 9 individuals as they recount their harrowing experiences. These are stories ranging from cancer, depression, and miscarriage. To shattered dreams, burnout, and car accidents. They are painful, heart wrenching, and tragic. But more importantly, these are the stories of how people were beaten down to the worst point in their lives, and how through all the pain and suffering, they willed themselves up, and kept on trying. Coming to all podcast feeds in October 2019. Tracks: Blue Dot Sessions - Gale Blue Dot Sessions - Topslides Blue Dot Sessions - Drone Pine

Have you ever screwed up? What did you do? How did you feel? What was going on in your head? Everyone encounters screwed up moments in their lives; from failures, disappointments, misfortunes. They are tragic, heartbreaking, painful, but they also provide glimpses into the darkest moments of the human condition, and as listeners, we can then use these moments to reflect, ponder, and ask: How did you come back? How do you keep trying? How do you bear with it all? How do you say it's ok? In the inaugural season of the screwed up moments podcast, we will feature 9 incredible stories of failure and redemption, beginning this October 2019.
