July 29, 2026 · 28 min

Show notes

What do you do when things don't go according to plan? Setbacks can leave you questioning yourself, replaying what happened, or wondering if you should give up altogether. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shifts and practical steps that have helped me recover from setbacks, build resilience, and keep moving towards the things that matter most.

Drawing on my own recent experience, along with coaching conversations inside the membership, I explore why the way you respond in the moments after a setback matters just as much as the setback itself. I explain why your thoughts, emotions, and the story you tell yourself can either keep you stuck or help you find your way forward, and why resilience isn't about pretending you're unaffected or simply pushing through.

Listen in as I walk you through my seven-step process for overcoming setbacks with greater intention and self-compassion. You'll learn how to process what happened, challenge unhelpful narratives, recognise what went well, identify the support you need, and take the next step with confidence, even when things haven't gone to plan.
