This season, we’re exploring the art of the pivot - both intentional and unexpected - and how those defining moments reshape who we are and how we show up in the world. And in this solo kickoff episode, I go first.
I share the story behind the boldest pivot of my life: leaving the safety and predictability of a traditional career to step into the unknown as a business owner - and eventually, a true entrepreneur.
From failure and fear to freedom and fulfilment, this episode is raw, reflective, and real. I open up about the parts of myself I had to leave behind, what I’ve learnt about success on the other side of change, and why pivots - while uncomfortable - are often the start of something far more meaningful.
You’ll also hear about the new format for Season 2. Each guest will respond to the same 12 unscripted questions, revealing the insights and truths that sit just beneath the surface of our conscious minds.
If you’re standing on the edge of a pivot -personal or professional - this episode is for you.
