Handling Pressure and Mistakes: Clearer Decision Making with Grand Prix Rider Silvia Rizzo

Have you ever frozen before a big decision, or replayed a mistake long after it was over? On The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits with Silvia Rizzo to explore how we respond to pressure, uncertainty and error. Silvia shares why fear fills the empty spaces of uncertainty, how to decide from reality rather than imagined outcomes, and why every mistake is simply new information. About the Guest: Silvia Rizzo is an international Grand Prix dressage rider, entrepreneur and certified life coach. Her experience in elite sport and business shapes how she thinks about leadership, high performance and personal growth. Key Takeaways: We cannot predict the future. Notice when fear is filling the gaps of uncertainty. Feel your emotions, but decide from what is real in front of you right now. Treat a mistake as information. Ask why it happened so you do not repeat it. Honesty with yourself and others saves energy that pretending quietly drains. Grow step by step, like adding weight in the gym, and stay flexible enough to adapt.
