Back to Episodes54: The Lies You Believe About Career Pivoting (And the Truth That Sets You Free)
Description
If you've thought about pivoting your career and talked yourself out of it, I want to show you why — because it's probably not the reason you think.
Most women don't avoid a career pivot because the pivot is wrong. They avoid it because they've been operating on a set of myths about what pivoting means: about their choices, their character, and their future. And those myths feel like protection.
In this episode, I'm taking each one apart.
The five myths covered:
- Pivoting means I failed at the first decision
- Pivoting means I'm ungrateful for what I have
- Pivoting means I'm unstable or indecisive
- Pivoting means starting over from scratch
- Pivoting means I wasted years
These beliefs didn't come from evidence. They came from conditioning — the same conditioning that told you to commit fully, stay consistent, and not change your mind too much.
But growth doesn't ask permission from your previous plan. And once you see each myth clearly — where it came from and why it's wrong — the fear underneath it loses its grip.
Pivoting is not instability. Pivoting is alignment in motion. It's what happens when growth gets too large to ignore.
What you'll walk away with:
- A clear reframe for each of the five most common pivot myths
- The strategic logic behind why high performers pivot more — not less — often
- A practical starting point for moving out of misalignment without blowing up your life
If something in your career no longer fits who you're becoming, this episode was made for you.
