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?
When She Pivots
Some Seasons Aren’t Meant for the Gas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this deeply personal episode of When She Pivots, Lauren turns the microphone toward Cassie for a conversation about living through a year that required everything—and asked for very little certainty in return.
Cassie reflects on a season marked by profound loss, medical challenges with her daughter, welcoming a new baby, and navigating a home build—all at the same time. Rather than forcing clarity or rushing toward a reinvention, she shares how she learned to surrender to what the season was asking of her.
Through this conversation, the idea of a “pivot” is gently redefined—not as movement or momentum, but as presence. As quiet work. As trusting the unfolding of who you’re becoming, even when the path forward isn’t clear.
This episode is an offering for anyone in a season of holding, healing, and listening—rather than pushing.
In this episode, Lauren and Cassie explore:
- Living through overlapping seasons of loss, change, and responsibility
- Letting go of the pressure to “figure it out”
- Redefining pivots as internal shifts rather than external moves
- The quiet work of becoming
- Honoring seasons that are not meant for acceleration
If you find yourself resisting stillness—or questioning why you don’t feel ready for the next step—this conversation is a reminder: sometimes the most meaningful pivots happen when you stop forcing them.
