When She Pivots
You have the degree(s), the career, and maybe the family, but is something missing? Have you been ticking all the boxes but find yourself asking, “Now what” or “What’s next”? Do you wish you had a community to support you in figuring out how to take things to the next level (or figure out what the next level is)?
Welcome to When She Pivots! We’re two mamas navigating professional, personal, and perspective shifts hoping to give ourselves and others the permission to think and dream bigger. With Cassie’s experience as a lawyer currently in the non-profit space, and Lauren’s as a former teacher turned entrepreneur, we hope to create a space where women can authentically share and learn from others who are even just one step ahead - working to normalize this kind of self-exploration with curiosity and openness instead of fear and judgment.
What if it’s actually possible to build your truest most beautiful life AND still show up fully for ourselves and those we love?

Lauren’s Return to the Classroom (Sort Of)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Cassie interviews Lauren about what it was like to briefly return to the classroom after stepping away from teaching — a career that once felt like her whole identity. Lauren opens up about the fear, the joy, and the unexpected clarity that came with revisiting a chapter she thought might be closed.
They talk about:
- The emotional tug of returning to work you once loved
- What it means to evolve beyond a former identity
- Motherhood, work-life balance, and trusting your next step
- Why you don’t have to “pick a lane” — and how growth can look like letting go
This is an episode for anyone who’s straddling two paths or wrestling with the question, “Do I still want this life I worked so hard to build?”
