Riding In The Weeds Podcast (2024)

First I dealt with energy and now it’s time to tackle the mind.

They say happiness starts in the gut…you know there is a brain in there too. One that actually has more to say about our mental health than the other one.

The goal is more balance and focus to manage life’s challenges.

Stay tuned. And as always feel free to reach out if you want to know more about my wellness tools❤️

It's working!! About 3 weeks ago I started taking a new product from my wellness company, called Activate. The idea is that it activates your GLP-1, which is a crucial hormone for our blood sugar and metabolism. The reviews promised more energy, better sleep, melting waist line and more...

My waist line is a work in progress, but I instantly noticed better sleep and my energy, which has been struggling for the past few years is slowly waking up!!

It started with my desire to do my morning workouts reigniting and the last few days I've WANTED to get up before 7AM, this morning it was 5:42am, no alarm, despite struggling to get to sleep last night with thoughts of all the things I have to do keeping me awake.

I'm pretty excited because if you know me you know I have a lot of energy and it's been hard to accept not being able to workout, ride my bike, work and generally do what I love to do.

What I love about these products is that as I get older I'm noticing that people haven't been lying. You lose energy, you gain weight, your sleep starts to suck, joints feel creaky. And everything I try is reversing those symptoms, it's like I'm aging backwards!!

I am also so excited as we are launching in Australia and New Zealand, which means that not only can I finally share these products with my friends! But the opportunity for taking your wealth into realms you've never imagined is available to people I know and love.

Reach out, let's chat, this is going to be really big!

But what I'm doing is working, I don't want to try something else.....

I am becoming very aware of the thoughts in my head lately and this one just popped up. My collagen company just launched a new form of their amazing collagen and I was watching a video about it.

So where does this come from? The fear of it not working, right??!!

This is true is so many aspects of my life right now, what I've got is good so why mess with it?

Well because it could be better. And if not you can always pick again. It's like trying a new ice cream flavour or dish at a restaurant. Yeah what you normally get is good, but what if there is something better.

It's like our biking....yes I have to go there. Yes you are having fun on your rides, but what if there was one tip that a coach could give you that changed everything. What if the fun factor was dialled up from 10 to 100??

So this is your call to try that new thing, give that opportunity a go, join that course.

Oh and I also just found out my wellness company is launching in NZ and Australia, anyone I know keen to be at the forefront of something really really really big??? Reach out, let's talk.

Do you know your blind spots? I have an opportunity to get my Riding In The Weeds Podcast reviewed by an expert who will tell me what I can improve, now I almost just wrote, will tell me what I am doing wrong....

Which are two very very different things and I think this is so key to our evolution as humans and being able to improve in any area of our lives.

Do you see coaching as an opportunity to improve or putting yourself in a position where you will find out how much you suck at that thing?

When people show up for a class scared, it is because they are afraid of sucking, and no one wants to feel like we suck.

When people show up for a class excited, it is because they are there to learn how to get better.

What is interesting is that it is the same thing, the difference is in how we look at it.

We are always in control of our experience. When we step into the future, step into how our future self will feel, that can draw us through the fear.

It is as simple as I want to corner better on my bike, so you show up to a course and when the instructor asks what do you want to learn, you say, to get better at cornering.

I want to have a podcast that is valuable to my listeners so if I go to a coach and tell them that, they can then give me the tips that will make it better.

A good coach will not tell you what you are doing wrong, they'll show you how to adjust what you are doing so that it works better.

I might be just over here giving myself a pep talk, and I hope it helps you too❤

Todays Riding In The Weeds Podcast is all about finding focus.

Which is ironic as I've been fighting distraction this week. I'm always so hopeful that when I remove what I think are the things that are creating my distracted state of mind I'll be able to achieve everything.

And yet there if I don't get clear on the key things I need to do in any day, then I just circle around, doing things but not feeling like I'm getting things done.

Anyone relate?

Perception vs. Reality...as I was watching the Aurora show on Friday night I was awed by how incredible nature is. One minute I was sitting looking at the stars and the next this incredible vision burst above me.

It was late, and I was really tired. And I was well aware of my motivations for why I was sitting out under the stars. And honestly it wasn't just to see the show. Don't get me wrong I've seen the lights before and don't want to miss the opportunity to see them again.

However, I also hate seeing the pictures the next day and feeling like I missed out. I was going to stay up later than I wanted to ensure that I didn't have that feeling!! Not really the right motivation I thought to myself...

As the lights danced around me I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture, and felt this sense of disappointment, what my camera captured, and what I could see, well they were not quite the same. My pictures were way more vibrant, so I sat there, hoping that my eyes would pick up the bright green and bright pink that the camera did. And I wondering what others were seeing, was it just me?

It made me think of the next day on social media, and everyone's pictures. And how this is our world now.

Perception vs. reality. And how quickly an incredible experience - ie. our lives. Can so quickly be diminished by seeing the experiences of others. And we let all the progress, all the fun, all the things we have done and achieved be minimized by our perception of others.

In the latest episode of Riding In The Weeds Podcast Ginny VA Branden of SoulPet Connections and I dive deep into this topic. It was cloudy where she was:) We discuss the trap of measuring ourselves against ideals, perceptions of others achievements and some quick and easy tools to move through the feeling of FOMO and into a feeling of accomplishment and excitement.

Check it out at at www.ridingintheweeds.com, on youtube - https://youtu.be/NHX0MftV1Lo and Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/riding-in-the-weeds-with-ginny-and-tash/id1659712324?i=1000655829452. We explore these themes in detail, offering valuable insights and practical tips to help you navigate the complexities of perception and reality in your life.

Let me know what you think and did you see the lights???

I think I might have found the other side!!

My self esteem/self worth has been tangled up in a belief that I had to look a certain way.

No matter how fit or thin I’ve been, I’ve always seen room for improvement. I never really felt I’d got there. Wherever the hell i thought I was going…

Yesterday I debated between documenting my swim in the very cold lake and seeing myself, and gulp sharing pictures, of my current body.

Documenting won and when I saw the pictures my first thought was those curves look good on me🤣.

And then celebrated that my pants fit and I could go biking and be warm and comfortable!!

There is still for sure some ego, it’s been a journey and it will always be there. However, little by little it’s becoming less about my value as a human and more about my pants fitting and knowing I want to age strong.

Part of my 10x journey is my health, because those standards are part of me. And my wellness company that gave me collagen that means I can run again just launched a new product that I’m so excited I can get my hands on.

This daily health system is seeing results that starts with losing pounds but more importantly gaining energy, focus and LIBIDO!!

I’m about to put an order in, it’s only available to associates right now, but if you want to join me to make May the month you 10x your health, reach out and I’ll order some for you too.

Here’s to loving ourselves at any size and aging healthy and strong❤️❤️

Cold dipping, crazy concept!

I’ve been getting a lot of input around the idea that our standards dictate our future.

And I know mine have slipped, which means my results have slipped and I’ve been stuck trying to get back to who I expect myself to be.

Which is fit, strong, motivated and living in a transformational mindset not a transactional one.

So this morning I got up, went for a run and then slowly walked into lake Roosevelt.

I stood halfway in and told Ian Lockey I can’t do this. I then focused on my breath and repeating ‘I can do hard things’ over and over in my head, managed to be neck deep for over 2mins and even put my head under for half a moment 🤣.

Thanks for the motivation Jacquelyn Gaudet-Konkin and Tracey Lundell for suggesting I read 10x is easier than 2x!

Now to keep it up. Setting the intention to 10x my health, wealth and relationships.

Because apparently 10x is easier than 2x…

What does ‘home’ mean?

It’s been 2.5 years since home became fluid.

No longer a physical structure, but a feeling.

As we head back to Rossland, with no ‘house’ to rush to, it’s instead a mix of friends, bike trails and responsibilities that welcome us back.

I’m thankful that home is wherever I am, especially when my man and puppy are by my side.

It’s also cool that when I really need to be ‘home’ it just means pulling over and I’m there❤️❤️

And can’t wait to see everyone time for doggy walks, bike rides and tea dates!! Emily EvilEnbridge Roberts Jenn McLean Nicole Briggs Bethany O'Rourke Rachel Newton Leigh Adamson Jaclyn Erwin Best Sylwia Kisyńska Allison Stark and the list goes on ❤️❤️

Fear…whether your on a bike or living any area of life it’s present.

This time of year is hard as we launch our bike programs and wait for registrations to roll in. I find myself attached to the kids that sign up and my coaches so keen to share their passion.

The fear that they won’t run and disappointment will be on me.

I was stuck in this mindset and then walked into the Krishna temple and saw this written on the wall.

This is what we teach our bikers! Do it for the joy, without attachment to the outcome. That is when fear dissipates and fun rules!!

22/04/2024

Doing something different.

No matter what you’re up to in life we all get stuck in a pattern. I notice this as Ian and I travel.

We’ve found safe places, familiar camping spots and although we are on this crazy adventure we keep going to the same places.

Switching things up is a gamble, maybe it won’t be as good, but then maybe it’ll be better…

We took a gamble and went boondocking at Lake Mead instead of the Boulder Beach campground.

Downside, no shade, just barren rocks and 35 degrees Celsius heat. Upside, we could swim and paddle and adventure around on the bikes.

💯 worth taking the punt! Got stuck for two lovely days and now it’s off to our familiar bike trails around Hurricane, UT.

Oh and if you’re wanting to switch up what your doing to manage that joint pain or metabolic health challenge. My products are 25% off through till the 25th, do you need a link??

The cost of FOOD! I was just in Wal mart in Arizona and the oranges I saw growing in abundance were .98 cents EACH.

Now you could think food is getting way too expensive OR recognize this as an opportunity to get really intentional about the food you eat.

It’s like the collagen I take. It’s not the cheapest option but having run out a month ago and noticing the difference in my knees. Well I’d rather have my collagen than a glass of wine, bag of chips or dare I say it…chocolate!!

My point? It’s easy to complain about our wealth and health (or lack there of). Or we can look at our choices and make different ones.

And just quickly on that wealth topic..my collagen company just launched a metabolic health system that is blowing minds. Best time ever to partner with me and change your life!!

Pic taken at Lake Havasu today, getting closer to home❤️❤️

I went horse riding on the beach yesterday.

It was so fun, got slightly scared when we started going faster but once I remembered to let the horse do it’s thing. And my job was to move with the horse it no longer felt like I was going to die.

I always tell my horse riding bikers, ride it like you ride the horse. It’s not quite the same but there are principles that cross over for sure!!

You know the biggest difference between mtn biking and surfing is even on a bad day you still get to ride trail, but surfing you’ll get a beating and not get any waves🤣 but you do still get to swim in the ocean 🌊 I guess.
Today was a tough session!

But the same rules apply go for the fun, work on getting better at something and you’ll always win. Today I think I was working on not letting my anger and frustration take over🤣

My bike confidence mastery course starts April 23rd. This is at the core of the program. Self mastery so you can apply the skills you’ll learn.

What are you subscribing to and what are you putting out? A question I think is so valid to ask as we create in the new world of social media!

My co-host Ginny VA Branden in our Riding In The Weeds Podcast has been reading a book about unsubscribing. I love her books!! She'll throw me a nugget and this week it was about noticing what I was subscribed to. Which resonated with the last book Zero Limits, which talks about how everything that comes into our experience is ours to clean up. Not our fault, but ours to clean up.

Scrolling through FB and noticing the energies in here has me pressing that X button. Instead of judging the content, I'm choosing to not subscribe to it.

We all have a right to our opinion, however I will leave you with this question, is the energy that you are putting out the one that you want to draw back in? Is it based in LOVE? Zero is a tough place to be, no judgements is almost impossible, but it is a worthy pursuit I believe. And you may not agree, and I send you love either way❤

Sometimes it’s just one thing that changes everything!!

Yesterday I saw a post from Forever Body Yoga with a pose for running stiffness. Fixed my shoulder that’s been stopping my sleep.

So grateful 🙏❤️

What if we are stuck in a feedback loop? What AI is teaching us is that garbage in = garbage out, maybe that is the key to our joy?

Have you ever stopped to ask WHY you want that thing you think you need to 'make you happy'?

Whether it is being better on your bike, weight concerns, money concerns, relationship..you name it, the WHY is the key. Because these things are all feedback, they are not the goal but the result.

So if you are stuck in thinking that if you could ride better then you'd not have all the negative feelings when you don't make the corner, the rock, the hill, whatever it is. There will always be a harder corner, bigger rock, steeper hill.

WHY is that important? why do you need to be 10pds lighter, a million dollars richer, in the perfect relationship. That WHY is the goal. And when you hit that goal the rest is feedback!

If you can love yourself where you are at now, forgive and be thankful those things actually don't matter, and then just like they say, the moment you are not looking for the perfect man/women, is when they appear. It works for everything.

What would life be like if you were exactly where you need to be right now? How would you feel, behave, what actions would you take? Step into that now and let the feedback roll in.

With Love,
Tash.

My biggest stumbling block, in my life, has been not supporting and loving ME. Let me know if you relate? In recording this last episode of the Riding In The Weeds Podcast this really hit home.

The journey I embarked on just over 3 years ago has been bigger than anything I ever imagined and I would not have gotten to where I am without support. Support from friends, support from Ian Lockey, support from my family. And support from ME. Trust in me.

This morning I ran to the beach and went for a morning swim - it was incredible. I had the support team there with me, of course.

This step was only possible because I have been stepping into loving all of me! Supporting myself and my journey no matter how imperfect it is.

Thing is that we are all on our human experience and when we start to share that experience, we realize that we are exactly where we need to be. We are not actually falling short, unless we think the people we look up to, admire and love being with are falling short. Because we are all here together, doing this thing called life and we are all imperfectly, perfect.

When we start to give ourselves support, the universe supports us back and the world opens to new miracles we never imagined.

So give yourself some love and go do something that sets your soul on fire!! 🔥
