Coaching Yourself Through Disappointment: How to Feel It, Process It, and Move On
What do you do when you're spiraling with disappointment, self-blame, or unmet expectations—and you know better, but can’t shake it?
In this honest and vulnerable episode of The Air is Free, Frida brings a real-time challenge to the table, and Sue coaches her through it live. Together, they walk through the internal tug-of-war between knowing something logically and still feeling it in your body.
This episode is a raw, relatable look at what it really means to coach yourself (or be coached) through a tough moment—and how simple tools like breathwork, body awareness, and reflection can shift your energy and reset your mindset.
🎧 You’ll learn:
How to recognize the physical signs of emotional overwhelm
What to do when you’re stuck in a story spiral of self-blame
How to shift from “what did I do wrong?” to “what can I learn?”
Why you can’t bypass the feeling (and why that’s okay)
A practical example of coaching through disappointment in real time
Whether you’re a coach, a feeler, or just someone having a human moment—you’ll walk away with real tools and deeper compassion for yourself.

Ever feel like you're fighting for control over things that were never yours to hold?
Welcome to The Air is Free, a podcast that helps you stop wasting energy on what you can’t control and start focusing on what you can. Your hosts, Sue Willoughby and Frida Karsberg, integrate the wisdom, intuition, and healing power of horses into their work—not as the sole focus, but as a powerful lens to raise the universal vibration and clear the path to personal freedom, resilience, and living life on your own terms.
Inspired by the Swedish expression "Luften är fri"—which translates to "The air is free"—this phrase is often used playfully to remind someone that space cannot be owned or controlled. But on a deeper level, it’s a powerful metaphor for letting go, trusting the process, and embracing the things in life that are meant to be free and limitless—like air, space, and personal growth.
Through candid conversations, real-life stories, and thought-provoking insights, The Air is Free explores what it truly means to find your center in a chaotic world. Because just like the air—you are free, too.
