Last year, when I turned 30, I hit a full-on existential crisis. I questioned everything — my work, my purpose, and my future. So many of you asked how I knew it was time to pivot, how I found the courage to do it, and how I figured out what to do next. That’s exactly what I’m breaking down for you today. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or just curious about what else is possible for your next chapter, this episode is for you. I hope it gives you support, clarity, and some practical tools to move forward!

- The mindset shifts that helped me finally quit what wasn’t working

- Tactical tips for financially and emotionally planning your pivot
