In 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.

Some 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.

When 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 pace
• How to loosen your mental grip when fear takes over
• Why leaning in—physically and emotionally—can lead to more alignment and freedom
• Real-life stories of how letting go of control transformed our paths

Whether 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.

What happens when the road you're told to follow no longer feels like your own? Christina Lambert grew up in the ATI (Advanced Training Institute) cult, where strict fundamentalist teachings controlled every aspect of her life—including an arranged marriage she never chose. But Christina found the courage to break free, reclaim her identity, and forge a new path on her own terms.

In this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we take a deep dive into Christina’s powerful journey:

• Growing Up in ATI – What life was like under the extreme rules of Bill Gothard’s fundamentalist teachings.
• The Pressure of Arranged Marriage – How she was expected to submit to a future she never agreed to.
• The Moment of Realization – What sparked her decision to leave and the struggles she faced in the process.
• The Ride That Changed Everything – How getting on a motorcycle became a symbol of her defiance, independence, and the ultimate catalyst for her escape.
• The Cost of Freedom – Breaking free came with deep personal loss, as she faced rejection from those she once trusted and had to rebuild life from the ground up.

Lessons We Learn from Christina’s Story

• Trust Your Inner Voice – Even when everything around you tells you to conform, your instincts matter.
• Escaping Control Takes Grit – Leaving a high-control group or relationship isn’t easy, but the other side is worth it.
• Deconstruction is a Process – Breaking free is just the beginning; learning who you are afterward is a journey of its own.
• Freedom Comes with Unexpected Turns – Like any road trip, the route to self-discovery is rarely a straight path.

Christina’s resilience reminds us that sometimes, you have to take the handlebars of your own life and ride toward the unknown—because that’s where true freedom is found.
