If you’ve ever said, “I’ll just wing it,” only to find yourself sweating through a meeting, blanking on stage, or staring down a disaster dinner party - this one’s for you.
In this episode of Bounce Back Better, Hilary Saxton takes on the myth of winging it and reveals the real magic behind making a strong comeback: preparation. Not the perfectionist kind that has you colour-coding your sock drawer - but the kind that builds confidence, calms chaos, and makes you look like you totally have your life together (even if you're low-key spiralling).
From the micro like jotting a list in the car to the macro planning your big bounce-back, Hilary breaks down why being ready-ish beats reactive any day. She dives into how preparation reduces anxiety, helps you handle life’s curveballs, and - let’s be honest - stops you from totally losing it when someone calls out mid-speech or the lights go out.
Whether you're returning from a setback or just trying to survive your Monday, this episode will help you swap panic for power - with practical tools, real-life insights, and just the right amount of sass.
💡 Confidence isn’t magic - t’s made in the prep.
💡 Winging it only works when you’ve already done the work.
💡 Preparation isn’t perfection. It’s progress.
🎧 Tune in now and learn how to prep like a pro and still leave room for fun.
👉 Your Challenge: Pick one area of your life this week where you usually “wing it” - and prep for it instead. Even just 10 minutes. Then let Hilary know how it changed the game.
