#25 - It Is Okay To Change Your Mind (and direction) When Things Are Not Working Anymore

from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate

In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we talk about pivoting — and why changing direction doesn’t mean you failed, quit, or lacked discipline. Many driven women stay stuck in paths that no longer fit because they’ve already committed. They keep pushing out of obligation, guilt, or fear of what it means to change their mind. This episode challenges that mindset and reframes pivoting as a sign of self-awareness and growth, not weakness. We talk about: why commitment often turns into pressure how guilt keeps people stuck in misaligned paths the difference between quitting and pivoting how to reassess goals as life changes why honoring your current season matters This conversation is especially relevant for moms navigating shifting priorities, changing bodies, evolving goals, or seasons where what once made sense no longer does. You’re allowed to choose something different — even if you said yes before. You’re allowed to grow beyond past decisions. And you don’t owe anyone consistency at the expense of your well-being. Pivoting isn’t giving up. It’s choosing alignment over obligation. 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 🔗 Resources & Links 📖 Read the full breakdown of this Podcast episode on my Substack 👉 [Read it Here] 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 📲 Learn More About Coaching Programs 👉 Inquire About Coaching Programs Here 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
