Sunday Strides – Embracing the Discomfort of Learning

This week’s Sunday Strides is a personal one. Lorna reflects on a recent experience that reminded her just how uncomfortable it can feel to learn something new - especially as an adult. Whether it's learning how to use new tech (hello, Pivo 👋) or facing the awkwardness of watching yourself ride on video, there’s something universally vulnerable about being a beginner again. In this episode, you’ll be reminded that growth often feels uncomfortable, and that’s a good thing. Because real riders aren’t the ones who know it all - they’re the ones who are still willing to learn. 🐴 In This Pep Talk You'll Hear: Why feeling awkward or “less than” while learning is completely normal How we unintentionally hold ourselves back by avoiding discomfort The myth of “I should already know how to do this” Why being a great rider means being a lifelong learner A gentle challenge to take one small learning-based action this week 🎯 Want Support as You Grow?
