Stop the Recency Bias Spiral
What if your last mistake isn’t proof that you’ve lost your edge—but just a mental trap playing tricks on you? In this episode, Kat Sosnick dives deep into recency bias, the dangerous mindset that convinces high performers that one bad outcome defines their entire ability. Whether you're a trader, entrepreneur, or executive, this episode will show you how to break free from self-doubt and reclaim your long-term success.
Key Points:
Your last result is not the full story - Recency bias tricks you into overvaluing recent failures while ignoring a history of success.
Self-doubt doesn’t just sit still—it spirals - Hesitation, overcorrection, and burnout are common reactions when high performers get stuck in this cycle.
Zoom out before you spiral out - Listing past wins can help break the cycle of negativity and remind you of your true track record.
One bad day doesn’t erase years of success - A single mistake doesn’t define your entire career or capability.
Confidence doesn’t rebuild itself—you have to feed it - Simple strategies, like tracking micro-wins, shift focus from short-term setbacks to long-term progress.
