Episode Description
A visible mistake can hijack your mind in seconds. One wrong call in a meeting, one public error, one decision that does not land and suddenly you are either beating yourself up or acting like nothing happened. We wanted to explore the skill nobody teaches: what to do right after you get it wrong, so you stay credible, stable, and clear instead of creating a bigger mess.
We’re joined by Silvia Rizzo , who works at the intersection of elite sport and high performance leadership. Together we unpack a practical definition of mental resilience that goes beyond “tough it out.” Resilience, as Silvia frames it, is adaptability plus clarity when circumstances turn unpredictable. We dig into the power of building an internal structure you can rely on under stress, why emotional overreactions can lead to the “second mistake,” and how strong error management protects both performance and mental health.
We also challenge the way perfectionism gets celebrated in high performance culture. You can hold high standards without living in fear of mistakes and without blaming yourself or others when pressure peaks. If you are in a demanding season, leading a team, or lying awake replaying a failure, this conversation offers a calm, repeatable reset: pause, breathe, review, learn, and move forward from your structure.
If this helped, subscribe to Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, share it with someone under pressure, and leave a review so more high performers can find healthier ways to recover. What is your go-to reset after a mistake?
