I like to share things that light me up, fill me with joy, and make my life easier. Nothing is sponsored. These are just things that are helping me along my journey.

Pivot: Embracing Change with Courage and Curiosity

I didn’t exactly choose my intention for 2025—it chose me.

Pivot.

This word keeps showing up in my life in the most unexpected ways. I keep hearing stories of people choosing to pivot. A dear friend surprised me with a book called The Pivot Year. Just yesterday, at an entrepreneurship gathering, the word came up over and over again.

I believe in signs and symbols. When the universe keeps nudging me, I pay attention. I get curious.

What Does It Mean to Pivot?

A pivot is a shift—sometimes subtle, sometimes bold—that moves us in a new direction. It’s not about abandoning where we’ve been, but rather adjusting our course based on what we’ve learned, where we want to go, and what feels aligned with our purpose.

Athletes pivot to change direction. Entrepreneurs pivot when a business strategy needs tweaking. In life, we pivot when we realize the path we’re on needs a little (or a lot of) adjustment.

The Courage to Pivot

Change can feel intimidating. Even when we know deep down that a pivot is needed, fear whispers: What if it doesn’t work? What if I fail? But what if, instead of fear, we lean into curiosity?

What if this pivot leads to something even better?
What if I embrace the unknown with an open heart?
What if this is the step toward the bigger, fuller life I’ve imagined?

My Personal Pivot

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to pivot—not just in business, but in life. How do I shift from old patterns into new possibilities? How do I step boldly into the life I’ve been dreaming up for myself?

Pivoting doesn’t have to be a massive, all-at-once change. It can be a series of small adjustments—micro-pivots—that add up over time. The key is to listen. To trust. To lean into the invitations that life presents.

So, as 2025 unfolds, I’m embracing the art of the pivot. I’m staying open to change, to possibility, to the unknown.

What about you? Is there an area of your life where you feel a pivot calling? If so, I encourage you to get curious. Trust the signs. And know that whatever direction you choose, you are capable, courageous, and exactly where you need to be.

With love and possibility,

Jamie
