Summary
Disappointment is one of the most powerful—and most misunderstood—emotions when it comes to confidence.
Most people don't fail because they aren't capable.
They fail because they don't know how to process disappointment… so they make it mean something about who they are.
In this episode, I'm sharing a real-life lesson from Snowboarding Nationals—where I found myself coaching my kids through the emotional highs and lows of competition, and teaching them a skill most adults never learn:
How to feel disappointed… and still believe in yourself.
You'll learn:
- Why disappointment quickly turns into self-doubt (and how to stop that spiral)
- The emotional skill that separates people who keep going from those who quit
- How to hold two conflicting emotions at once (disappointment + belief)
- A simple, practical process to reframe your thoughts in the moment
- What to do immediately after things don't go your way
This episode will change how you experience setbacks—and give you a new way to move forward with confidence, even when things don't go as planned.
Because confidence isn't about never feeling discouraged…
It's about knowing what to do when you are.

| 0:00.0 | No one teaches you what to do with disappointment. |
| 0:04.6 | And because of that, we either avoid it or we over personalize it and let it define us. |
| 0:11.6 | We think that disappointment means that something is wrong with us, that we're behind, |
| 0:16.0 | that we don't have what it takes, that we're not capable. |
| 0:18.3 | But the problem with disappointment has nothing to do with |
| 0:21.4 | you. It's not your ability. It's just that you haven't been taught how to process disappointment. |
| 0:28.2 | And in this episode, we're going to talk about conflicting emotions, how to hold two emotions |
| 0:35.5 | that seem very contrary at the same time while processing the intensity |
| 0:41.6 | of that negative emotion. This conflicting emotional skill is the emotional skill that separates |
| 0:49.4 | quitters from champions, whether in sport, in business, in relationship, or in life. And so today I'm |
| 0:55.9 | to teach you how to do just that, how to hold disappointment without letting it turn into |

| 1:33.8 | and confidence coach Trish Blackwell. We are in episode 699. I don't even know what I'm going to do |
