Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall

Episode 357: Aging, Physical Challenges, and the Stories We Choose


Listen Later

In this episode, Stacy Westfall explores how the challenges of age and physical effort intersect with the stories we tell ourselves. From running a 10K at 51 to coaching riders of all ages, she reveals how separating mental resistance from physical reality opens new possibilities—both in the saddle and in life.

Key takeaways: – The body presents real challenges, but the mind often adds hidden limits – Physical strain can reveal the power of choosing a different story – Decision points become clearer when you separate thoughts from facts – Growth is possible at every decade, but only if you keep asking what's possible

This episode examines how aging, physical effort, and mindset weave together. It's for anyone who has felt the tug-of-war between body and belief and wants to see how shifting perspective can change what feels possible.
