The Motovation Podcast

Send us a textOn this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we sit down with Jessica Soodeen—a woman whose life journey spans race engineering, global corporate leadership, and some of the deepest personal transformation a person can face.Jessica's career has taken her from the motorsports circuits of Europe to executive roles at companies like Honeywell, where she led global initiatives with her signature blend of precision and adaptability. But it was a different kind of challenge—stepping away from everything to become her mother's full-time caregiver at end of life—that truly reshaped her identity.In this raw and deeply human conversation, Jessica opens up about what happens when your professional momentum is forced to a standstill, and the person you thought you were suddenly disappears. What followed was a powerful tale of grief, growth, and reinvention.We talk about:The emotional toll and quiet resilience of caregivingWhat it means to completely lose your sense of identity—and how to begin againThe role of empathy in leadership, life, and healingHow Jessica is navigating her next chapter, grounded in authenticity and purposeThis isn't just a story of reinvention—it's a story about riding through the hardest terrain life throws your way, and still finding a way to move forward.This is The Motovation.

Send us a textIn 2025, “How to adult” is one of the most searched phrases on Google—and the questions people are asking reveal something deeper than just forgotten laundry tips. From “Is it normal to like stuffed animals as an adult?” to “Can you start ballet at 35?”, it's clear we're collectively rethinking what growing up really looks like.In this episode, Krissy Vann and Laurie Joy Kingwell pull over to reflect on the winding road to adulthood and how societal expectations can steer us away from what we truly want. With real-life examples like Julia Child publishing her first cookbook at 50 and Burt Munro setting motorcycle speed records in his 60s, we bust the myth that there's a right age—or route—for anything.Whether you're considering a late-in-life pivot or just tired of feeling like you missed a made-up deadline, this episode is your reminder that it's never too late to shift gears. Because adulthood isn't about hitting milestones—it's about building a ride that actually feels like yours.

Send us a textSome people enter your life like a spark. Unexpected. Magnetic. They show up just when you didn't know you needed them, and suddenly your world shifts. Through motorcycles and shared miles, a few of us found each other and built something deeper than friendship. We became a chosen family. A bond forged in grit, vulnerability, ridiculous laughter, and unconditional support.Over the past several years, we have ridden through it all together. Divorce. Illness. Dreams deferred and dreams reborn. Big career pivots. Gut-wrenching losses. We leaned on each other through the hard parts and celebrated each other through the victories. Somewhere along the way, we grew. Not just as individuals but as a collective that just clicked.But lately, something has been stirring. A quiet shift. Like we are all being called toward new roads. Maybe we were never meant to stay the same. Maybe we were meant to wake something up in each other and then find the courage to keep growing.Today on The Motovation, we are talking about what happens when the people who helped you become who you are start evolving into someone new too. Can you hold on to what was while still making space for what is next? Can you trust the road when it starts to curve in ways you did not expect?If you have ever felt that tug in your gut, that bittersweet knowing when change comes calling, you are not alone. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is lean into the turn and trust that the ride ahead is exactly where you are meant to go.This is The Motovation.

Send us a textWhen you're on a motorcycle, the key to turning isn't yanking the handlebars—it's leaning in and trusting the machine beneath you. The same applies to life.In this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we explore what it means to build trust—with yourself, with others, and with the road ahead. When the ride gets uncertain, many of us grip tighter, try to control the outcome, or overcorrect. But sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is ease off… and lean into what's unfolding.We get into:The importance of trusting your instincts and paceHow to loosen your mental grip when fear takes overWhy leaning in—physically and emotionally—can lead to more alignment and freedomReal-life stories of how letting go of control transformed our pathsWhether you're riding curves or navigating change, this episode is your reminder: you were built for this road—you just have to trust the ride.This is The Motovation.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever felt like no one truly gets you, especially when you're on a path of personal growth? It's a tough spot to be in, and many of us face it.Imagine riding your motorcycle on a winding, scenic route. The journey is thrilling, filled with twists and turns that require all your focus and skill. To you, it's pure freedom. But remember when you were learning to ride? It was clunky and awkward, much like embracing the feeling of being misunderstood. To others watching from a distance, it might look dangerous or even reckless. They don't see the joy in the ride, the mastery in navigating each bend, or the peace you find in the journey.Being misunderstood often stems from others not being able to see the world from your perspective. When you're on a path of personal growth, this can be even more pronounced. Your dreams might seem too big, your goals too unconventional, and your ways of expressing yourself too different. It's easy to feel isolated and judged, but there's immense value in embracing this misunderstanding.Embracing being misunderstood is about prioritizing authenticity over acceptance. The journey of personal growth requires you to dig into your true self, stripping away the layers of societal expectations and fears of judgment. When you focus on being authentic, you allow yourself to grow in ways that might not always be understood by others, but are true to who you are.Today, we're talking about what it means to feel misunderstood, especially when you're evolving and growing. We'll explore why this happens, how to handle it, and most importantly, how to stay true to yourself even when others don't see the road you're on.Connect with The Motovation Podcastwww.themotovation.comhttps://www.instagram.com/motovationpodcast/ #themotovation #motorcycle #womenwhoride #personalgrowth

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we dive into the often detrimental habit of comparison. Whether we're scrolling through social media or interacting with peers, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing what we have—or don't have—with others. This comparison game isn't just limited to material possessions; we also measure ourselves against those we perceive as superior in various aspects of life, from career success to personal achievements.But it doesn't stop there. Sometimes, we catch ourselves comparing in the opposite direction, thinking, "At least I'm doing better than so-and-so." This mindset, though seemingly positive, can also be harmful. It fosters a sense of superiority that is just as damaging as feelings of inferiority. Both types of comparisons can take a toll on our self-esteem and mental well-being, leading to feelings of inadequacy, discontent, and even arrogance.We explore how constantly measuring ourselves against others—whether we think we're better or worse—can derail our personal growth and happiness. Imagine each person's life journey as a unique motorcycle ride. Comparing your ride to someone else's is like trying to race a cruiser against a sportbike in a terrain that suits neither. Each motorcycle is designed for different paths and speeds, just as each person is tailored for their own journey. Understanding and appreciating our unique paths can help us steer clear of the pitfalls of comparison and keep our focus on our own ride.Join us as we discuss strategies to break free from the comparison trap, celebrate our individual journeys, and fuel our self-worth. Let's rev up our engines and ride confidently on our own paths, finding joy and fulfillment along the way.

Send us a Text Message.Just like a motorcycle, our ego can be both a powerful tool and a tricky beast to handle. It can propel us forward with confidence, or it can spin us out of control if we don't keep it in check. The ego is essentially a false sense of self, created by the mind, and is responsible for much of the unhappiness and suffering in the world. It is the voice in our head that constantly narrates our life, creating stories of separation, fear, and inadequacy. It thrives on identification with thoughts and external circumstances, leading us away from our true essence and into a cycle of discontent.In this episode, we're diving deep into the role the ego plays in our lives, how it influences our decisions, and what we can do to master it rather than be mastered by it. By observing our ego, recognizing its influence, and finding the balance between self-assurance and humility, we can navigate life's journey with greater awareness and peace.

Just like many riders don't fully understand the mechanics of their bikes or take the time to get in tune with them, people often do the same with their bodies when it comes to what brings pleasure or deeper intimacy.In this episode, we sit down with fellow rider Kristina Sheridan, owner of Coastal Clarity Discomfort Spa in Nova Scotia. Kristina is here to help us explore the world of BDSM – that's Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism. It's a topic that many see as taboo, but it really shouldn't be. We're using this interview to ask the questions you may have been afraid to or never thought to ask.Our nervous system can imprint experiences based on our first sexual encounters. Often, those first experiences aren't great and can even be negative or traumatic, leading to dissatisfaction or shame that prevents further exploration. BDSM can be a powerful tool for personal growth by providing a way to release and exchange energy, foster deeper connections, and shed shame to strive toward sexual freedom. By exploring boundaries and trust within a safe and consensual environment, individuals can experience a profound sense of empowerment and self-discovery.Kinks and desires shouldn't be shamed; they should be explored and celebrated. Kristina shares her journey of bringing the world's first discomfort spa to life, what to expect in the dungeon, and her reasons for wanting to do this work. She offers insights into how BDSM can be used therapeutically to help people connect with their true selves.So, rev up your curiosity engines -- This is The MotovationConnect with Kristina Sheridan of Coastal Clarity Discomfort Spa:https://www.instagram.com/coastalclarity_discomfortspa/ https://www.instagram.com/sher_latex/https://www.instagram.com/sherkris/ Connect with The Motovation Podcast:www.themotovation.comhttps://linktr.ee/motovationpodcast https://www.instagram.com/motovationpodcast/

Life is a journey, and like any journey, it has its fair share of obstacles and challenges. Just like bugs splattering against a motorcycle visor, our lives can become clouded by the constant barrage of worries, doubts, insecurities, and fears. These negative thoughts and emotions can accumulate, making it increasingly difficult to see the path ahead with clarity.In times of chaos and turbulence, it's crucial to recognize the need to pull over, take a break, and clear the visor of our minds. Much like a motorcyclist who can't navigate effectively with a dirty visor, we can't make sound decisions or find happiness when our minds are clouded by anxiety and stress.So, how can we regain that clear perspective and rediscover the joy of our life's journey? It begins with taking a moment to pause and breathe. By doing so, we can activate our prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher-level thinking and decision-making. This allows us to step away from the fight, flight, or freeze response and approach our challenges with a calm and rational mind.Here are some strategies and techniques to help you clear your mental visor and find clarity in life's chaos:Mindfulness Meditation: Practicing mindfulness can help you stay present and reduce the impact of negative thoughts and emotions. It allows you to observe your thoughts without judgment and gain a clearer perspective on them.Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a therapeutic way to process them. It helps you identify recurring patterns of negativity and gives you a chance to reframe your perspective.Seek Support: Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or a therapist when you're feeling overwhelmed. Sharing your worries with others can provide valuable insights and emotional support.Set Priorities: Sometimes, the chaos in our lives stems from overcommitting or not setting clear priorities. Take the time to evaluate what truly matters to you and focus your energy on those things.Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Understand that it's okay to have moments of doubt and insecurity. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer to a friend facing similar challenges.Embrace Change: Life is ever-evolving, and it's essential to adapt to changes and uncertainties. Instead of fearing the unknown, view it as an opportunity for growth and new experiences.Visualize Your Goals: Create a clear vision of what you want to achieve in life. This can help you stay focused and motivated, even when faced with obstacles.In this episode, we'll delve deeper into these strategies and share inspiring stories and conversations that demonstrate how individuals have cleared their mental visors to find clarity and purpose in their lives. We'll explore real-life examples of people who have faced adversity and transformed their challenges into opportunities for growth.Join us on this journey to clear your mental visor and discover the joy of living a life viewed through a clear lens. Remember, you have the power to thrive, not just survive, even in the midst of life's chaos.

In the riding community, the mantra "Ride Your Own Ride" is often repeated. This saying holds the essence of individuality, emphasizing that personal choices of how you take to the road is yours and yours alone for better or worse. It's also a reminder that each rider must chart their own course, a journey that evolves over time but remains uniquely theirs to navigate. Being an authentic rider goes beyond choosing the right bike, speed, route, terrain, and destination—it's a personal commitment driven by individual preferences and motivations. This ethos extends into the broader context of our lives, where we continually discover what resonates deeply within us, aligning with the core of our authentic selves and how we move through this life. Living authentically transcends trends; it's a dynamic and transformative journey that requires sacrifices and a willingness to embrace uncertainties. It involves navigating the moments when we realize our well worn path might not align with our true selves, mirroring the daily encounters where we uncover what truly makes us tick. This episode explores the nature of authenticity, recognizing that it's not just about staying true to yourself but also adapting and responding to the ever-changing environments and relationships around you.In our discussion, we'll delve into Merriam-Webster's word of the year for 2023, 'Authentic.' We'll unpack its beauty and complexity, exploring the nuances of living authentically. Because, ultimately, it's not just about reaching a destination; it's about crafting a life that resonates with the distinct roar of your own engine and acknowledging the sacrifices that often accompany that journey. Welcome to "Ride Your Own Ride."#motivation #authenticity #lifeadvice 

Life is a highway, and, much like a motorcycle cruising along, we traverse various stages of growth and change. Similar to a caterpillar, there are moments when we feel confined and restricted, prompting us to wrap ourselves in a cocoon of introspection and self-discovery. It is during these times that we shed our old beliefs, habits, and limitations.Some individuals may remain within their cocoon for extended periods, spanning months, years, or even a lifetime. Some may retreat back to the perceived comforts of their caterpillar stage. However, for those who manage to persevere, we gain the ability to emerge from our cocoon with newfound strength, resilience, and wisdom. Like a butterfly taking its inaugural flight, we unfurl our wings, revealing a beautiful, transformed version of ourselves.In this episode, we delve into the caterpillar cocoon and butterfly stage of life, igniting the engines of personal growth and embracing the journey of self-discovery.
