Knowing When It’s Time to Change | Riding in the Weeds Podcast
Wednesday, 19 February, 2025
Do you ever get stuck in doing the same thing? Maybe it is a workout routine, always ordering the same meal at a restaurant, only listening to one podcast (if it is this one then don’t change that, joking), walking the same way with your dog every night or riding the same trail on your bike? In this episode, Natasha Lockey and Ginny Branden break down the art of change—why it’s necessary, how to recognize when it's time, and how to embrace it without getting stuck in fear and resistance.This is not an episode to tell you that you need to change, because if something is working, don’t mess with it. But the question is how do we know? And if we never try new things then we don’t know if we might be missing out. What we don’t want is to stay comfortable due to a fear of losing what we have, when we might just be saying no to something so much better….🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ Why change feels uncomfortable—and why that’s a good thing!✔️ How to tell when you’ve outgrown something in life, career, or relationships✔️ Why staying stuck in old habits can hurt your growth✔️ How movement (physical and mental) helps you break through resistance✔️ Strategies for self-coaching so you can navigate life’s transitions smoothly🔑 Key Learning Points:🌟 Growth comes with discomfort—learn to recognize the signs🌟 Quitting isn’t always bad—sometimes, it’s the best move🌟 Rigid routines can hold you back—flexibility is key to progress🌟 Energy stagnation leads to stuckness—movement (mental & physical) is the key🌟 Trust the process—change happens in cycles, and you're always evolving⏰ Key Timestamps:00:00 - Welcome to Riding in the Weeds 🎙️01:02 - The importance of normalizing setbacks02:17 - Why do we resist change?
