Pivoting Through Life’s Seasons with Dal Sekhon
Fri Dec 19 2025
This one hit home. After a year of slowed down podcast publishing pace for Chasing Common Ground, I sat down with my friend Dal Sekhon to talk about what it means to evolve in real time—when life doesn’t go how you planned, when progress isn’t linear, and when consistency doesn’t look like what it used to.
We covered the real-life side of growth, not the polished version. The kind that requires humility, flexibility, and a serious reevaluation of your self-talk. Dal brings both the lived experience and the coaching insight, and I think her story will resonate with a lot of you.
🔑 In This Episode:
1. When Your Year Didn’t Go As Planned
– We reflect on the heaviness of 2025, the guilt that comes with unmet goals, and how to course-correct without quitting.
2. Pivoting With Purpose
– Dal shares how a small change in workout structure led to her best consistency in years—and why your systems should work for your life, not against it.
3. Soft Skills Make Strong Coaches
– We dig into why adaptability and empathy are underrated superpowers in coaching, and how those qualities shape trust and retention.
4. Bridging Cultural Gaps in Nutrition
– A powerful breakdown of how to approach traditional cultural meals with balance, not restriction—plus how Dal’s approach helps clients feel seen.
5. Building Real Career Longevity
– We both share what’s changed in how we see coaching, content, and mentorship—and why in-person events like RCS are a non-negotiable for growth.
