Feeling Proud, Yet Always Hungry for More - #201

In this episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna dive into one of the most thought-provoking questions we’ve received: How can you feel proud of where you are, yet never truly feel “pleased”?

Together, we explore the balance between confidence and growth, the seesaw of being proud of your progress while still striving for more. You’ll discover why “never pleased” doesn’t have to mean negative self-talk, and how to reframe it into a powerful drive that fuels your riding and your personal development.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why pride protects your confidence and reinforces your identity as a rider.
  • How to turn mistakes into growth opportunities without beating yourself up.
  • The difference between “never pleased” and “hungry for more.”
  • Why words like but can sabotage your mindset, and the simple reframe that keeps you motivated.
  • How to recognize signs of progress (they’re always there if you look for them). \

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “never enough,” this conversation will help you shift your perspective, protect your confidence, and harness your hunger to keep growing.
