To Pivot or Not to Pivot... That is the Question.

Today on The SunDaze Journey Podcast’s “Unqualified Hour,” we bring you the first installment of a two-part series. In this episode, co-hosts Alexis Carthan and Mary-Beth Meagher dive into the complex nature of goals—how to pivot back to them if we meander off-course, and when it’s time to move on from a goal that doesn’t resonate anymore.

We all encounter crossroads in life—whether through personal circumstances, professional choices, or tense political climates (yeah…sound familiar?). These experiences can shatter our illusion of control, forcing us to re-evaluate the aspirations we hold onto. Whether we’ve allowed external pressures to deter us from our goals, or we need to release ourselves from the pursuit of an ambition that no longer serves us, this can be an invitation to grace, acceptance, contentment, and self-discovery in the face of uncertainties.

Alexis and Mary-Beth explore the discomfort (or even grief) that can surface in the midst of this process, and why it’s beneficial to celebrate each milestone of the journey—whether or not it turns out like we envisioned at the starting line. Finally, our hosts offer some actionable steps for dreamers to overcome challenges and reclaim motivation as they pursue the goals that matter. Then, we’ll “Shine a Light” on folks who inspire us to dream.
