What do you do when your biggest goal slips through your fingers? When something that should be easy just falls apart?

In this raw and real episode, I share a personal story after a surprise elimination at a 2* event that derailed my path to the 7-year-old World Championships. Alongside Lorna, we unpack what it really means to reframe a “failure” and keep moving forward with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The emotional rollercoaster of watching your goals slip away
• Why riding “a level down” doesn’t always mean an easy round
• How complacency and expectations can quietly sabotage performance
• The danger of letting your ego (or Instagram!) define your self-worth
• My powerful 3-step post-competition reflection process
• What to do when you see someone else succeed at your goal
• Why setbacks don’t mean you're not good enough, they just mean you're growing

If you’ve ever:

• Felt blindsided by a disappointing competition
• Wondered if you should just stop setting goals altogether
• Struggled to bounce back when things don’t go to plan
• Compared your messy middle to someone else’s perfect highlight reel... …

then this episode will meet you exactly where you are, and show you how to shift.
