When you have dedicated months or even years of your life pursuing a goal, it can be really tough to pivot and change course, even if deep down, you know it's time to do so.

There's no playbook for knowing exactly when or how to pivot, but I've had a few conversations about this exact topic lately.

So I thought I'd share a couple of things I've learned from two specific points in my own

journey where I was faced with a decision to continue on my current course and stay comfortable

or pivot and leap into uncharted territory.

Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more.

I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host and the founder of Powerhouse Women, and together will unlock

the confidence and clarity you are looking for to help you get

out of your own way and into action around your next big idea.

Welcome back to the podcast.

I just love hanging out with you on a weekly basis.

Even though I can't see you, I love getting to see the stories that you share, the episodes

that you're listening to.

My favorite is when you show me where you are in the world when you're listening to podcasts.

Shout out to my girl Cindy. She loves to text me

pictures of her on her walks. And when I do extra long episodes, I just, I say you're welcome

for giving her extra steps. So if you're someone who listens to podcasts while you exercise,

just know that the extra long episodes are ones where I'm just trying to help you out, girl,

trying to help you get those extra steps, a little extra sweat session.

And wherever you're listening today, I am just grateful that you're here.

I am getting so excited because we're nearing the end of July when this episode launches,

when you are listening to it.
