  • 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.

  • How to get out of a Funk - #200
    Ever had one of those weeks where everything feels heavy? One thing goes wrong, then suddenly the whole week feels like a downward spiral. In this milestone, the 200th episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna open up about being stuck in a “funk”, those tough stretches where self-doubt, disappointment, or fatigue creep in and knock you off balance. This episode is raw, real, and relatable. Both as riders and coaches, we share personal experiences of feeling low after competition setbacks, unpack how these funks start, and most importantly, how to get out of them. You’ll learn: Why funks happen (and why they’re completely normal) How a small trigger can snowball into self-doubt across all areas of life The power of awareness: checking in with “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) Why taking action; even the smallest step, is the fastest way out How to use journaling, talking to a trusted friend, or simply moving your body to reset your energy The importance of accepting all emotions (yes, it’s okay to cry!) How to flip the script and start creating evidence that you are capable, resilient, and moving forward This conversation is a reminder that funks don’t mean failure, they’re just part of the journey. Confidence isn’t gone, it’s just hiding, and you can find your way back.

  • How to Keep a Growth Mindset When Facing Challenges - #199
    In this episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna dive deep into one of our favourite topics: the growth mindset, and how to hold onto it when challenges threaten to knock you off track. From cross-country training breakthroughs to frustrating moments in the saddle, we share real-life riding experiences that reveal how easily old habits creep back in and how quickly self-criticism can take over. We unpack the crucial difference between a fixed and growth mindset, why criticism is not the same as feedback, and how reframing mistakes can transform your riding (and your life). You’ll learn: What a growth mindset really means for equestrians How to reflect without judgement, even after a rough ride Why the “ugly” videos are often the most valuable Practical strategies to shift perspective when emotions run high The one question that instantly reveals whether you’re in a fixed or growth mindset Whether you’re recovering from a disappointing competition, battling self-doubt, or just want to keep improving, this conversation will help you replace harsh self-talk with curiosity, see setbacks as stepping stones, and remember that nothing is permanent.

    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.

  • Competitive without Getting Caught up in Results - #197
    Are you stuck between riding for growth and riding for results? Not sure when it’s the right time to push your performance without sacrificing your mindset? This episode is for YOU. This week, I and Lorna dive deep into one of the biggest mindset dilemmas riders face: 👉 When do you stop just focusing on the process and start showing up to be competitive, on purpose? Whether you’ve been playing it safe in the ring or struggling to get that last 10% out of yourself, this conversation will shift your thinking and ignite your inner competitor (without the toxic pressure). In this episode, we explore: How to tell when your mindset and skills are solid enough to start competing with purpose What the “Wall of Confidence” really is, and how to make sure yours doesn’t collapse under pressure Why performance plateaus often signal the need to increase the challenge, not ease off How to push your limits without focusing on the result The secret to getting into flow state more consistently Why a bigger canter (not a bigger fence!) could be your next breakthrough What to do when you're stuck in the “messy middle” of growth Resources Mentioned: 🧠 Receive our weekly mindset & performance hacks: mindeq.eu/weeklyhacks🐎 Apply for coaching with us: mindeq.eu/coaching Follow us on instagram: www.instagram.com/jocelinlillienau If you loved this episode: Please leave a rating and review!
