How do you know when it is time to pivot in life instead of staying committed to something that no longer fits?Jeff Seckendorf joins The ThriveWell Journey for a powerful conversation about pivoting, purpose, aging, reinvention, fun, accountability, and living fully after change. From film and scuba to coaching, endurance cycling, and world-record athletic achievement, Jeff shares what it looks like to keep creating new chapters instead of shrinking into old ones.This episode speaks to anyone rebuilding life after disruption, questioning what comes next, or learning how to tell the difference between quitting and choosing a new direction. Jeff’s story brings a grounded reminder: if something is no longer working, you do not have to stay there. You can pivot, get help, walk your talk, and create a life that still has purpose.Chapters00:00 Embracing Change: The Power of Pivoting06:14 Life's Pivots: From Film to Fitness11:41 Finding Purpose: Helping Others19:09 The Role of Motivation in Performance29:36 Getting Unstuck: The Importance of Support35:31 Navigating Internal States and Fun39:31 Coaching Across Generations43:32 The Importance of Accountability46:04 Aging: Perspectives and Experiences54:28 Living Life Fully and PivotingConnect w/ Jeff SeckendorfGuest LinksWebsite - https://coachmestrong.comPodcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/athletes-over-70/id1541234567ResourcesAnnie Duke's Book 'Quit' - https://www.amazon.com/Quit-psychology-when-know-when/dp/0062855744Jeff Seckendorf's Podcast 'Athletes Over 70' - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/athletes-over-70/id1541234567CoachMeStrong.com - https://coachmestrong.comConnect w/ L.
