How to deal with disappointments in life...

JEREMY GODWIN
About this episode

Why does disappointment feel so overwhelming? How do you move forward when things don’t go your way? Whether it’s missing out on an opportunity, feeling let down, or struggling with setbacks, disappointment can take a real toll on your mental health. But while you can’t always control what happens, you can control how you respond to setbacks and disappointments — and that makes all the difference. In this episode, I’m sharing practical, no-nonsense strategies to help you process disappointment in a healthy way, stop setbacks from damaging your self-esteem, and move forward with resilience. Learn how to handle setbacks without getting stuck in frustration or self-doubt, so you can shift your mindset and regain a sense of control. Because while disappointment may be inevitable, staying stuck in it is not. Ready to change the way you deal with setbacks and disappointments? Then let’s talk!
