## Resource

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.
