Embrace the Squiggle: Change happens. Growth is a choice.
Embrace the Squiggle is the podcast about navigating change in work, identity, leadership, and life with intention. Because change happens. Growth is a choice.
This show explores the honest, human stories behind reinvention. From career pivots and leadership shifts to identity crises, mindset shifts, and unexpected detours, each episode dives into what it really looks like to move through uncertainty instead of waiting for clarity.
Our guests share candid stories of obstacles, failures, breakthroughs, and hard-earned lessons. Not because they had it all figured out but because they chose growth in the middle of the mess.
Each week, Colleen DelVecchio and Ashleigh Beadle unpack the pivots, pauses, leaps of faith, and “what am I even doing?” moments that shape a non-linear life. This isn’t about chasing a straight line. It’s about building the mindset and courage to evolve on purpose.

Would you prioritize a four day work week in picking your next career move?
This week on Embrace the Squiggle Colleen and Kristine chat with Sive O’Neill, an expert career squiggler who has prioritized flexibility and family friendliness in her career moves. Sive is a Vice President of Marketing at Tulip where she not only leads the marketing team, but enjoys a four day work week.
Sive is a theater performer-turned marketer, with career squiggles that led her to some pretty cool jobs, like when she worked for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, a number of non profits, and big corporate marketing roles. She is now the VP of Marketing for Tulip, a retail technology company that works with iconic brands like Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo and Saks Fifth Avenue.
In this episode Kristine and Colleen tackle how you can or cannot be involved in the hiring process of a superior. Sive shares how she has navigated corporate life with motherhood and her frustrations at the unrealistic separation of the two.
