I don’t believe we’re meant to do the same thing forever. In fact, I think most entrepreneurs are multi-passionate, multi-hyphenated creatives. And this is a sentiment that became even more obvious after we asked you what types of episodes you’d like to see on The Power in Purpose podcast. You want to learn about pivoting in business–what it’s like, how to start, and what to expect when you decide to leave behind your business/career and start something new.
In this episode, I’m giving you permission to pivot–and sharing what I learned when I sold my first business and followed my purpose and how you can start making a change in business today.
Maybe you’re feeling burnt out and you’re looking for something new and exhilarating. Or, maybe you don’t have the same love and joy you once did when you started your career. Pivoting can be scary, hard, and honestly stressful.
But there’s not a day that goes by where I’m not grateful I took the leap and decided to shift course in my career.
If you’ve been feeling that nudge… or heck, that aggressive push to try something new, this episode is for you.
I know what pivoting is like firsthand; in October of 2019, I sold my 6-figure business of 12 years so I could coach and mentor wedding pros full time. After so many years doing (and being known for) one thing, pivoting was exciting and exhilarating.
But it was also hard, full of imposter syndrome, and felt like totally starting over. Today, I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the hard when it comes to pivoting.
This episode is part of our mindset series.

I’m feeling a little emotional writing this 🥹
The Power in Purpose podcast just hit 200 episodes!! It’s such a big milestone, and that number represents so much more than consistency or content.
It represents choosing to show up when it felt scary.
Sharing my thoughts before I felt “ready.”
Hitting publish even when I worried about sounding dumb, being misunderstood, or not knowing where this would lead.
When I started this podcast in 2018, I truly didn’t know if anyone would listen. I just knew I had something to say and a deep desire to talk honestly about building a business that supports a real life.
Somewhere along the way, this stopped being “just a podcast” and became a space for big conversations, quiet moments, hard truths, hot takes, and the parts of entrepreneurship no one really prepares you for.
And none of this exists without you. 😭
If you’ve ever listened on a walk, in the car, while cooking dinner, or during one of those “what am I even doing?” seasons in your business, I want to thank you. Your presence here has mattered more than you know.
To celebrate episode 200, I shared 23 lessons I wish every wedding pro knew. Lessons about confidence, boundaries, money, leadership, nervous system regulation, and what actually creates momentum in this industry.
I’m so grateful to be here. And I’m so grateful you’re here too. 💛
I hope you’ll take some time to listen today and celebrate with me!

I taught this masterclass inside @theplannersplaybook a few weeks ago, and I’m not kidding — my DMs, the chat, everything blew up.
Planners were saying things like:
“This explains EVERYTHING I’ve been feeling.”
“I finally understand why my sales calls feel so weird.”
“Okay… my packages need a major glow-up.”
It was one of those moments where I thought this can’t stay behind a paywall because every planner needs to hear this.
So I decided to open the masterclass up — for free — for a limited time to any planner who wants to watch.
As a coach and expert, I have a unique perspective. I get to see the backend of hundreds of businesses each year – and that gives me a window into what`s happening across the industry.
Here`s what I know...
Couples want different things.
Their expectations changed.
Their buying psychology changed.
And the way planners talk about (and structure) their services has to shift, too.
That’s what this masterclass is about — understanding what changed so you can adjust without burning your whole business down.
Comment the word SHIFT and I’ll send you the link on how you can watch this training.
