In this short bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele unpacks the subtle but powerful difference between a tragic flaw and a tragic error. This distinction reshapes how we understand both classic tragedies, such as Othello, and our own human missteps.

Drawing from Poetics by Aristotle, we’ll explore how hamartia is less about an unchangeable flaw and more about a single lapse in judgment — and how seeing our own choices through that lens can transform shame into growth, and endings into new turning points.
