The Comeback Mindset: James Haskell on Resilience, Reinvention & Mental Strength
I Got Back Up: Getting back up with...Show Notes
What does it really take to get back up when life doesn't go to plan?
Joining Talia in the studio this week is former England and British & Irish Lions rugby star James Haskell. Since retiring from professional rugby, James has successfully reinvented himself as a bestselling author, broadcaster, podcaster, entrepreneur, and international DJ, proving that life after elite sport can be just as rewarding as the career that came before it.
Together, they dive into the mindset behind resilience, the power of self-belief, and how embracing setbacks can become the catalyst for growth. James opens up about protecting his mental health, learning from failure, building confidence through visualization, and staying authentic in a world increasingly shaped by social media. The conversation also explores relationships, setting healthy boundaries, finding purpose beyond sport, and even James' fascination with the universe and life beyond Earth.
