Summary

Hi friends! On today’s show, I’m truly honored to have a discussion with ABC news correspondent and host of The View, Paula Faris. She is in a new season of life, but she walks us through the power of a pivot and what she learned as she walked away from broadcast journalism to honor a new season of life. Today we talk about pivoting. A pivot is a fundamental change in strategy while staying grounded in your vision and facts. Listen in as Paula and I talk about several pivots in her life and how they led her to her true calling and destiny in life. Not only does Paula have her own podcast, she has a book walking people through identifying their calling in this season. You can find out about all she is doing by going to PaulaFarisOfficial.com or you can check out all the things on social media and tag @PaulaFaris and @BiancaOlthoff to share what you are applying to your life or what you learned. I know that it's always a gift to guests when they know their words have impacted your life. It’s definitely a gift to me. Speaking of gifts, as we roll into our one-year birthday next week, it would be a gift to me if you subscribed to this podcast and left a review. Not only does this inform you of when new podcasts are up, but it also helps this show get into the ears of new people. I can’t wait to celebrate our one-year party next week.

0:00.0	Hi friends, it's another episode of we're going there.
0:08.6	Before we dive into the topic at hand, let me first just celebrate a moment with you.
0:12.7	This podcast will be almost one year old in two weeks and I can't believe it.
0:19.2	This started as a wish, a dream, and a prayer. And now we are
0:22.0	three seasons in and over 500,000 downloads. From Israel to Istanbul, Oklahoma to Oregon, spending
0:28.5	time talking to you has truly been my gift. My goal in the beginning was just to do one season,
0:34.6	just one. And now here we are a year later about to celebrate our first birthday,
0:39.8	which also coincides with my wedding anniversary to Matthew Ray Oltoff and also coincides with
0:45.7	the father South OC's third birthday. Clearly September is my jam. Friends, it is going to be
0:52.2	a literal week of celebration. I'm releasing three podcasts to end
0:56.3	our third season and to celebrate our one year as a podcast. I hope you can tune in and celebrate
1:01.0	with us. On today's show, I'm truly honored to have a discussion with retired ABC News correspondent
1:06.3	and host of the View, Paula Ferris. She's in a new season of her life, but she walks us through the
1:11.6	power of a pivot and what she's learned as she's walked away from broadcast journalism to honor
1:16.4	a new season of life. I have to admit I was geeking out as I prepared for this interview.
1:21.1	Growing up, I always wanted to be a broadcast journalist, and I would fastidiously study the
1:25.8	news anchors of the day. I'm talking Connie Chong,
1:28.5	Bree Walker, and Diane Sawyer. In fact, when I told my mother I was going to interview Paula,
1:33.7	she told me that she had an old audio cassette recording I made at the age of nine years old,
1:39.0	pretending to be Bree Walker and Connie Chung. What possessed a nine-year-old brown girl to pretend to be a middle-aged Korean woman?
1:48.0	The power of telling the news and believing my voice mattered.
1:52.2	The audio quality, I admit, is horrific.
