Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is change your mind — even when the world tells you to stay the same. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the real reason we feel guilty for pivoting, why growth demands that we reassess, and how to trust yourself even when you’re making a move nobody else understands. If you’ve been holding onto something that doesn’t fit anymore — a job, a plan, a version of yourself — this is your reminder: You're allowed to change. Changing your mind doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you're listening. This is your permission slip to trust your next chapter — even before you can explain it. 💫Join the community: The Wellthy Circle 🧢Shop the Merch: Well Said Merch 📸Follow Syd → @wellsaidsyd
