Words of wisdom from a professional pivoter.

In today's episode, we delve into the transformative power of pivoting in both life and career. Dr. Jillian shares strategies for embracing change, giving yourself permission, and learning to put your opinion above the opinion of others.

Trigger warning: Blunt mentions of suicide and eating disorders occur in this episode.

Giving yourself permission to pivot is hard.

Societal pressures often lead us astray from what truly matters. We spend a lot of time in our lives worrying about crap that doesn't actually matter.

Ask yourself these questions:
Are my current actions aligned with my current goals and aspirations?
Am I open to embracing change, or do I tend to resist it?
What pivotal moments have I experienced in my own life or career and what would I do differently?

Career paths are rarely linear, and sometimes it's necessary to pivot to pursue new passions or align with our changing priorities.

In medicine, we are told that pivoting is equal to failure. What if it is actually success?
