The Horse Show Therapist Roasts Our Goal Setting!

Horse Show Bestie

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. J, Horse Show Therapist as she sits down hosts Scott Cooper and Crysta Brown and makes them rethink their life choices (but in a productive way).

We talk about goal setting without emotionally damaging yourself, what does it look like to set a goal that isn't outcome based, and focusing on what brings us joy and not just everything that sucks right now.

We also get into the very real stuff: unrealistic timelines, comparison spirals, financial anxiety, and that constant feeling of “I should be doing more.” Dr. J breaks down why accepting your starting point isn’t settling, why flexibility is a skill, and how chasing tiny wins keeps you from rage-quitting a sport that already costs too much.

If you’re trying to build a winning mindset while also enjoying the ride (or at least not dissociating in the warm-up), this episode is a grounded reminder that progress is messy, flow state is worth chasing, and the joy is usually in the process, the people, and the moments when everything briefly clicks.
