About this listen

Permission Slip-ups is a podcast about what it really takes to live the life you desire. We all want a life that feels more aligned, more fulfilling, more us. But giving ourselves permission to go after it? That's where things get messy. Kate and David dive into the real-life tension between desire and doubt, courage and caution, freedom and fear. They explore what happens when you take a bold step and it doesn't go as planned, when you hold back because you're afraid it won't work out, and what it means to keep going—even after a stumble. This isn't about having it all figured out. It's about navigating the in-between—the messy middle—where we learn, stretch, slip up, and keep moving forward. Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come right after the biggest doubts.2025 Careers Economics Personal Success Self-Help Success

  • Why you don't need to see the whole path - just the first step
    Jan 15 2026

    What happens when life doesn't follow the plan you worked so hard to create?

    In this deeply human episode of Permission Slip-Ups, Jill Yashinsky-Wortman shares how burnout, grief, and unexpected loss cracked her life wide open and revealed a truer, more courageous version of herself. Through raw storytelling and honest reflection, Jill explores what it means to stop waiting for the "right time," trust yourself again, and take the next right step—even when the whole path isn't clear.

    This conversation is about grief and growth, surrender and self-trust, and the quiet permission to live now, not someday.

  • Who Are We When No One's Watching?
    Jan 5 2026

    Letting Go of Comparison and Returning to Ourselves

    In this episode of Permission Slip-ups, David and Kate take an honest look at performance-driven behavior — especially the kind that shows up when we feel like others are watching. After David shares a moment of self-awareness about comparing himself to others on social media, the conversation opens into a deeper exploration of comparison, judgment, and the pressure to appear consistent or successful. Together, they unpack how easy it is to fall into inauthentic performance and how much courage it takes to stay aligned with who we truly are.

After a playful look at the cultural obsession with "new year, new you," they shift into a deeper conversation about clarity, intention, and choosing the one thing that truly moves you forward. This episode invites listeners to break free from overwhelm and align with the action that matters most.
