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?

In this episode of When She Pivots, Cassie sits down one-on-one with friend, salon owner, and mother Whitney Newman for a deeply honest conversation about intuition, courage, and navigating life’s unexpected turns.
Whitney shares what it was like to open her own salon while raising young children, build that business through the uncertainty of the pandemic, and later navigate the personal upheaval of divorce—all while continuing to show up for her family, her clients, and herself.
Cassie and Whitney talk about the tension many women feel between motherhood, ambition, and personal growth—and the courage it takes to keep trusting your instincts even when life feels uncertain or when your path diverts from expectations.
In this episode, Whitney shares:
• What led her to open her own salon with a toddler and new baby on the way
• How intuition and faith guided major decisions in her life
• The realities of running a small business through the pandemic
• The experience of shedding identities and expectations (placed on so many women)—and creating a life that is uniquely her own
It’s a thoughtful conversation about courage, intuition, and what it looks like to build a life on your own terms.
