What if self-compassion isn't about letting yourself off the hook, but about separating who you are from the mistake you made? Host Ria talks with Grand Prix rider and life coach Silvia Rizzo about the difference between self-compassion and self-protection.
Silvia shares why admitting a mistake outright is more stable than protecting your ego, why a healthy dose of self-criticism can push you forward, and why she relies on her own values and past experiences as an inner structure under pressure.
About the Guest:
Silvia Rizzo is a professional Grand Prix dressage rider and certified life coach. She grew up making high-pressure decisions under public scrutiny in competitive sport, and now helps people make calmer, more grounded decisions in their own lives.
Key Takeaways:
- You made a mistake, but you are not the mistake, that distinction matters.
- Admitting a mistake outright is more stable than protecting your ego with excuses.
- A healthy amount of self-criticism can push you forward instead of holding you back.
- Uncertainty tempts the mind to fill gaps with fear rather than fact.
- Your values and past experiences form an inner structure you can lean on.
