Don’t Be a Fool: 5 Mistakes to Avoid – 275

April 01, 2025

We have no tricks up our sleeves with this April Fool’s Day podcast—just wisdom to guide you along your grit and grace life. (But it might be foolish if you choose to skip this episode!)


The mark of a foolish person is one who carries on with life without learning to discern the different between fact and fiction, wisdom and folly. Even automobile magnate Henry Ford suggested as much: “The only real mistake we make is the one from which we learn nothing.”


Darlene Brock and Julie Bender take it one step further in this episode, offering 5 common life mistakes to avoid altogether. Some of these you may not have experienced yet; others you may repeatedly encounter. All the more reason to prepare for them now—you’ll know exactly what to do when the moment arrives!


Quote of the episode:

“We’re all going to make mistakes, but we do not have to be fools about it.” —Darlene Brock
