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
Through the Fire, She Walks — with Emily-Jane Sarroff
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you realize you can build something bigger — but you no longer want to?
In this episode, Emily-Jane Sarroff opens up about closing her multi-six-figure branding and marketing business, confronting financial missteps and accumulated debt, and choosing not to scale her way out — even though she knew she could.
Her crisis wasn’t capability. It was clarity.
After walking away from an architecture career to build a successful company and chasing traditional markers of achievement, Emily-Jane found herself returning to a deeper question:
“If I am living my life from that place of knowing I'm enough, then what would I actually be doing?”
What followed wasn’t a dramatic reinvention. It was a shedding. A recognition that sometimes self-trust isn’t about proving you can — it’s about honoring that you don’t want to.
In this conversation, we explore self-trust at the breaking point, radical responsibility around money, the difference between optics and alignment, and what it means to reclaim your truest identity — not because you failed, but because you’re evolving.
Emily-Jane doesn’t claim to have it all figured out. She’s in process — walking through the fire with her eyes open and a steady belief in herself.
This episode is about choosing art over applause. Integrity over image. And returning to yourself — again and again.
