Summary

Kristen continues the conversation from last week, pulling back the curtain on her own pivot and exploring why making a change, even when it feels necessary, can be so terrifying. She unpacks why growth often feels like loss, why we cling to the familiar, and how the fear of letting go keeps us stuck in places we’ve outgrown.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

Growth and grief often go hand in hand—letting go of what’s familiar can feel like a loss, even when we know it’s time for something new.
We often hold on to what we’ve already invested in, whether it’s a belief, a job, or a relationship, because the fear of abandoning that energy feels overwhelming.
The fear of inconsistency or betraying others can make us shrink ourselves to protect the peace, causing us to stay in situations that no longer align with our growth.

Kristen highlights that the discomfort we feel around growth is often a signal of progress. The fear of pivoting is normal, but it’s also a sign that we’re standing at the edge of something bigger. The real risk isn’t in the change itself, but in staying where we are, avoiding discomfort, and missing out on what’s possible.

Pivoting takes courage—and that’s exactly what we need to move forward.

0:00.0	You are listening to brand new eyes.
0:07.0	You are listening to the Christenboss podcast. I'm your host, Kristen Boss. As a best-selling author and performance coach, I'm on a mission to share about sustainable and purposeful approaches to both business and life. Each week, I bring relevant topics that I believe are necessary to create a life of purpose, significance,
0:38.7	and meaning. Entrepreneurship is about so much more than growing your bottom line. It's about
0:44.2	who you are becoming in the process and building a life that is truly extraordinary. Entrepreneurship
0:51.2	is really just the beginning.
1:01.9	Hey friends, welcome back to part two of the pivot.
1:06.7	If you haven't listened to the previous episode, I suggest you go back and give a listen because it'll give some context to this particular episode because it is a continued conversation from last week.
1:15.9	All right.
1:16.4	First, let me say a very sweet and special thank you to the response I have received since the last podcast went out. You have sent such kind and
1:30.7	meaningful and thoughtful messages and you guys have shared how much it has resonated with you
1:36.0	and really spoken to where you are in your current season of life and what you needed to hear.
1:41.6	And so I am delighted that the episode resonated with
1:46.5	you and spoke to you. I will say, man, vulnerability, there's such thing as a vulnerability
1:53.9	hangover where you just feel you kind of let people in, let people see you, share, you know,
2:03.2	share, you know, a part of yourself. And then you kind of want to go into hiding afterwards and like hide under a blanket.
2:08.1	And I was called like a vulnerability hangover.
2:10.7	It's like the, oh, did I say too much?
2:13.3	Did I give too much?
2:14.1	But it's, I have found that vulnerability is the pathway to creating meaningful
2:20.2	connection with anyone in your life. I don't know about you, but sometimes I've had people who
2:27.7	would say they are my friends, but I never know what's actually going on behind their perfectly polished smile. Like, I never know
2:39.0	what's actually going on in their life. It's like I never hear them struggle. And I'm like,
