Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you guys. Are you currently
Speaker 1: stuck at a crossroads or are you trying to navigate
Speaker 1: whether it's time to let go and move on or
Speaker 1: push Because you might be on the edge of a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: If these are questions currently in your brain, then today's
Speaker 1: episode is for you. We unpack the power of pivoting,
Speaker 1: how to know when it's time to make a change,
Speaker 1: and how to know when it's time to stick with
Speaker 1: it because you're almost there. If you struggle to allow
Speaker 1: yourself to change or navigate change in general, then you're
Speaker 1: going to love this episode. But before we get into it,
Speaker 1: a tear Weekly Recommendations. Mind's a bit of a hack
Speaker 1: that I've discovered this week. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: late to the party, but if you have Spotify Premium,
Speaker 1: you get access to like an insane amount of free
Speaker 1: audio books. Oh yeah, no, I was Lannie was telling
Speaker 1: me about this because she said she was reading an
Speaker 1: audiobook on Spotify and she didn't have enough minutes left
Speaker 1: or something, and I was like, what are you talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So then I was like, why do I have Audible?
Speaker 1: That's what I thought, Like, it's insane. I think there
Speaker 1: is like a limit on the hours you can listen
Speaker 1: to in a month? Is there fantasy books on the Akatar,
Speaker 1: the entire series on the Fuck And I'm currently paying
Speaker 1: for Audible just oh my god, we are idiots. We
Speaker 1: are great hack. It's a great hack if you if
Speaker 1: you listen to audiobooks here and there. I think with
Speaker 1: the limit you might. I think it's fifteen hours. So
Speaker 1: if you do listen to audiobooks that's all you do,
Speaker 1: you might. It might not be the best. But like,
Speaker 1: if you're just here and there to help you get
Speaker 1: through a specific chapter, you can cancel your audible money
Speaker 1: saving queen mine over there, queen, what about you watch
Speaker 1: your I've got a shameless plug for our connection cards.
Speaker 1: Me and Tim had a six year wedding anniversary on
Speaker 1: the weekend, so beautiful, and we use the cards so much.
Speaker 1: We like we just got we got them out at
Speaker 1: every restaurant and they're so good because even like we
Speaker 1: might just read one card and then it would just
Speaker 1: create this conversation about like something that you wouldn't usually
Speaker 1: talk about, and when like I've been with him for
Speaker 1: over twelve years, so it's like I feel like I've
Speaker 1: spoken to him about everything under the sun. So the
Speaker 1: cards were just like amazing to really help that connection obviously,
Speaker 1: help us have like some fun things to talk about.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they were just like a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: and it had been a hot minute since I used them,
Speaker 1: so I was like, love you connection cards? May I
Speaker 1: ask which deck you were using? We got to get
Speaker 1: into the episode before day. There may be another deck
Speaker 1: covering and I may be using the new ones. Don't
Speaker 1: tell Jamie we told you though. We'll get into the episode.
Speaker 1: So today is going to be a fun quick episode
Speaker 1: where we are chatting about pivoting, which is honestly, I
Speaker 1: love this word right now, A dear, Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: And I think this is what's really fun about manifesting
Speaker 1: and self development work is you get to have a
Speaker 1: bit of fun with it and it can be this
Speaker 1: like almost like you're playing You're playing a bit of
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, it is a bit of a game.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think of what we're doing about
Speaker 1: the pivoting concept. And basically, I think there is just
Speaker 1: so much power in the pivot. When I think of
Speaker 1: pivoting in a manifesting lens, pivoting is the universe redirecting you.
Speaker 1: And I think society has really given us this warped
Speaker 1: view of things shouldn't change and you shouldn't pivot, Like
Speaker 1: even if you think about the concept. When I was
Speaker 1: in school, you know, about ten years ago. It really
Speaker 1: was like pick one job and that's your job for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. Yeah, and then you retire
Speaker 1: and that's it. There was like I actually didn't know
Speaker 1: any adults who didn't do more than one job. Wow,
Speaker 1: Like if I think of every adult like to you know,
Speaker 1: I'm talking when I'm like what sixteen. Yeah, Like my
Speaker 1: dad he picked plumbing. He was the plumber for this
Speaker 1: whole life. You know. My brothers were younger, but they
Speaker 1: had done the same thing. My mom picked typewriting, became
Speaker 1: a typewriter at court, but then had kids and every
Speaker 1: went back to work. And I just really didn't know
Speaker 1: any adults who had pivoted, who had done different things.
Speaker 1: And it's like it just wasn't normalized to me. And
Speaker 1: I really had this concept of like you peak one
Speaker 1: thing and you don't pivot. And that's really why I
Speaker 1: finished and completed my law degree, even though I probably
Speaker 1: knew I didn't want to actually practice law, because I
Speaker 1: had this thing of like you have to you have
Speaker 1: to finish it. Yeah, you have to get it done.
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I love that I finished
Speaker 1: my law degree and I got so many life skills,
Speaker 1: but I really wasn't well versed on this like being normalizing,
Speaker 1: changing your mind and pivoting. And I feel like in
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I've really leant into this
Speaker 1: vibe of not only being like a multifacet person where
Speaker 1: I'm able to change and evolve at a rapid rate
Speaker 1: that honestly, I probably contradict myself after twelve months, but
Speaker 1: also I'm happy to contradict myself. I think I've said
Speaker 1: on the podcast before, I really hope that if you
Speaker 1: listen to an episode a couple of years ago on
Speaker 1: the podcast, I am contradicting myself and I'm saying something
Speaker 1: different because I truly believe it's like, as humans, we
Speaker 1: are meant to evolve, we are meant to change, and
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's not normalized. So it's like,
Speaker 1: let's start talking about how we should change and evolve
Speaker 1: and almost have a bit of fun with pivoting in
Speaker 1: our lives in manifesting. And I think the concept of
Speaker 1: pivoting too is I love to think of quote unquote
Speaker 1: setbacks or things that happen that you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: didn't like that, They're not bad things or things that
Speaker 1: shouldn't have happened. It's just showing me what I don't
Speaker 1: want in my life, what energy I don't want, what
Speaker 1: things that I would want differently, And it's like these
Speaker 1: really amazing lessons and things that are happening for me
Speaker 1: to show me the life I do want, to show
Speaker 1: me the person I do want. And I get to
Speaker 1: make mistakes and I get to pivot, and I think
Speaker 1: there's so much you know, power in the pivot on
Speaker 1: your school example as well, don't you think that like
Speaker 1: in school, pivoting is also frowned upon a little bit, yes,
Speaker 1: or even like I've got this like thing in my
Speaker 1: head of I remember my dad saying, you know, his
Speaker 1: friend's daughter changed her degree like five times, and like
Speaker 1: how disappointing it was. Yeah, and like what a mess
Speaker 1: of a human you must be if you change your mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like hot mess, Yeah, hot mess vibes. And even every
Speaker 1: time I think about pivoting, I think about high school
Speaker 1: musical and that song they sing. I think I've said
Speaker 1: this on the podcast before this, the song they sing
Speaker 1: where they like stick to the status quo, like if
Speaker 1: you're the basketball boy, you're only the basketball boy. If
Speaker 1: you're the no girl, you're the nerd girl. You cannot
Speaker 1: sing together, yeah, which is like the whole plot of
Speaker 1: the first movie. But that's like reinforced within us from
Speaker 1: such a young age because thinking back to school, like
Speaker 1: people didn't really change their mind much like the kids
Speaker 1: winning cross country in grade seven were kind of the
Speaker 1: same as the kids winning cross country in grade twelve.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just my school such a
Speaker 1: great example, yeah, but like people didn't change and it
Speaker 1: was frowned upon if you almost tried something new, because
Speaker 1: that's what's ingrained in us from like such a young age.
Speaker 1: And it's so funny because it really could be as
Speaker 1: simple as if something's not working, pivot yeah, or change
Speaker 1: if you're bought yeah, change change it up. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: it's so many of us are like almost scared. And
Speaker 1: I think even now thinking about it, it's like how
Speaker 1: people say you need to pick a niche, you need
Speaker 1: to have a niche, Like what do you enjoy? What's
Speaker 1: your one thing? But it's like learning, like how you
Speaker 1: said you started to embrace it. You're a multifaceted person.
Speaker 1: It's learning that you're not just gonna have one thing
Speaker 1: and that's okay, and also there's allowed to be stepping
Speaker 1: stone things. Yeah. I think, like I even talk about
Speaker 1: in my Journey of when I left Laura and I
Speaker 1: didn't know what I wanted to do. I had this
Speaker 1: like twelve month period before me and Cooper started Naked
Speaker 1: Harvest where I try a whole bunch of things, like
Speaker 1: I released a cooking ebook just honestly, I was obviously
Speaker 1: really into it at the moment. It's like so random
Speaker 1: of me. I did presets like I just like dabbled
Speaker 1: and was like, hm, what feels good to me? And
Speaker 1: all those things were very successful because they were very
Speaker 1: like authentically me in that moment. But they were like
Speaker 1: these beautiful moments of just like leaning into what felt
Speaker 1: good and they led to really amazing things. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think sometimes people can be scared that it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I've got to do this thing. It's got to be
Speaker 1: like the thing, yes, and it's got to work, and
Speaker 1: I can't do anything other than this single option. And
Speaker 1: the only person you're hurting when you decide that is yourself.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too, because I think when things don't
Speaker 1: go our way, we think it's like this really bad
Speaker 1: thing but really it's like you're not blocked, you're just
Speaker 1: being asked to pivot. So it's like where do I
Speaker 1: need to go next? Where do I need to pivot?
Speaker 1: And seeing that as a really really positive thing rather
Speaker 1: than negative. Yeah, all right, guys. So if something's not
Speaker 1: going your way, or if you're getting weird like feelings
Speaker 1: about doing something different, I want you to ask yourself,
Speaker 1: what is this showing me? Is this an invitation to
Speaker 1: Because another thing with a pivot that I want you
Speaker 1: guys to think about that I like to do is
Speaker 1: if things aren't going my way, I really do see
Speaker 1: this as an invitation to go deeper. As you know,
Speaker 1: if something's triggering me, it's like, oh, what part of
Speaker 1: me needs to heal? What part of me? Is this
Speaker 1: showing that I get to work on. There is a
Speaker 1: bit of a moment though, where you don't want to
Speaker 1: just constantly pivot so you're never learning the lesson yeah,
Speaker 1: and just constantly oh it's not working, change, Oh it's
Speaker 1: not working. Change. So there's so much power in the pivot,
Speaker 1: but also make sure you're taking into consideration what's the
Speaker 1: lesson here? Yeah? Is there a moment I can go deeper?
Speaker 1: And figure out, Like, if something doesn't work, I always
Speaker 1: love to like reflect and figure it out, because if
Speaker 1: you don't, it's usually going to come back again again
Speaker 1: in some other way. And so it's really important to
Speaker 1: do the work on that. For example, if you find
Speaker 1: someone and you see someone and they just like jump
Speaker 1: from job to job to job to job to job
Speaker 1: very quickly, and when you ask them about it, they're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it just wasn't the right vibe. It just wasn't this,
Speaker 1: It just wasn't that. But when you look at the timing,
Speaker 1: it's almost that like every time there was a potential
Speaker 1: challenge or something that was uncomfortable or something that would
Speaker 1: have put them out of their comfort zone, instead of
Speaker 1: doing the thing, they just went and got a different job. Yes, totally.
Speaker 1: And it's about navigating that like, oh, is this just
Speaker 1: a lesson I need to learn, or like is this
Speaker 1: just an uncomfortable conversation I need to have to then
Speaker 1: grow and then continue in this job, or is it
Speaker 1: actually a bad environment for me and is it actually
Speaker 1: not serving me? And navigating that decision, because if you
Speaker 1: just jump from job to job to job to job
Speaker 1: every time, you have to have an uncomfortable conversation. It's
Speaker 1: inevitable that you're just going to keep changing because workplaces
Speaker 1: come with conversations that aren't the most comfortable all the time. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: That's such a great point. And I think again, it's
Speaker 1: like noticing the patterns. If something is popping up more
Speaker 1: than once, it's not a coincidence. That's what I like
Speaker 1: to think, And it's like, Okay, what's the lesson here,
Speaker 1: what's the thing that I need to learn and work
Speaker 1: through and makes you do that and then pivot and
Speaker 1: then change, And like, obviously it's going to depend on
Speaker 1: the circumstance, but being consciously aware of that, I do
Speaker 1: think like there's so much too like seasons. So I've
Speaker 1: talked about this concept on the podcast for a very
Speaker 1: long time of like understanding what season you are in
Speaker 1: and this month and rise we are talking about alignment,
Speaker 1: and it's really about understanding that just because something served
Speaker 1: you at a certain time doesn't mean it's going to
Speaker 1: serve you in the future. So maybe it's a friendship,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a job, maybe it's a hobby you do,
Speaker 1: you know whatever, It's like, it's okay for that to
Speaker 1: be a season where that is perfect for you and
Speaker 1: it serves you. But then it is okay to pivot
Speaker 1: and change. But only you are going to know if
Speaker 1: that is the right time, if that thing is not
Speaker 1: serving you anymore. And that's a big thing. Is like
Speaker 1: you need to lock into your intuition because only you
Speaker 1: will know. And obviously we teach you the realignment formula
Speaker 1: in the Rise at this month. It's called the Rose effect,
Speaker 1: and I really bring you through this formula of like
Speaker 1: when you need to realign because things aren't feeling right,
Speaker 1: so it's like it's time to pivot, it's time to change.
Speaker 1: But really leaning into I guess normalizing that because this
Speaker 1: is I'm someone who's very disciplined where if something worked
Speaker 1: for a certain amount of time, I even if it's uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: I will continue to act and do that thing because
Speaker 1: it worked at a certain time. Yeah, it's like logic,
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, logically, I'm like, I don't mind delayed gratification,
Speaker 1: don't mind being a bit like not in the right
Speaker 1: vibe because it's like it works, so I'm just going
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, But what's really important is understanding
Speaker 1: that if it doesn't feel good, it totally means it's
Speaker 1: time to change, because when you realign, it should feel
Speaker 1: easy and it should feel flowy. But we are totally
Speaker 1: creatures of comfort and we like to stick to what
Speaker 1: we know, and so that new like period of figuring
Speaker 1: out what is the new? You know, comfortable, it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: So you can understand why we don't always like to pivot.
Speaker 1: We don't always like to realign. And would you say
Speaker 1: that fear of pivoting also has a lot to do
Speaker 1: with fear of judgment from others, Yeah, and also like
Speaker 1: judgment or yourself. Yeah, because I think that, like when
Speaker 1: I think back to times when I've decided to pivot
Speaker 1: or not or like I have pivoted, the main I
Speaker 1: guess limiting belief for me has always been but what
Speaker 1: are people going to think when they see that I've
Speaker 1: done this? And I think that that's probably a really
Speaker 1: common one, hugely, Yeah, I think, yeah, I think majority
Speaker 1: of people for sure. Yeah, So how would you suggest
Speaker 1: people sort of navigate that exact sort of belief when
Speaker 1: it comes up in relation to pivoting, because I know
Speaker 1: it comes up a lot in a lot of different scenarios,
Speaker 1: but pivoting specifically, Yeah, that's a really great question, Tia. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's like judgment of others is because if
Speaker 1: we're looking at this from like a shadow work lens,
Speaker 1: you thinking others are judging you, is really you just
Speaker 1: judging yourself. Yeah, that's like it's like no one can
Speaker 1: make you feel certain way, only you can. So if
Speaker 1: we bring it into that concept, it's really the work
Speaker 1: of what's the belief behind you not wanting to make
Speaker 1: the pivot and what's the belief behind the judgment. So
Speaker 1: bringing it back to the example of like me having
Speaker 1: that memory of dad saying that girl who changes her
Speaker 1: degree five times is a hot mess. There there's the judgment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's like I'm going to project, well, people are
Speaker 1: going to judge me that I'm a hot mess, that
Speaker 1: I'm not I haven't got my shit sorted. But really
Speaker 1: it's an internal judgment to myself from a belief from
Speaker 1: childhood through my dad. Yeah. And I could simply do
Speaker 1: the limiting belief blasting formula that we teach you in
Speaker 1: Rise last month, and so I would go through that
Speaker 1: belief and rewrite it, rewire my subconscious and then what
Speaker 1: would happen is I wouldn't have that judgment anymore, because
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a belief anymore, right, and you could
Speaker 1: put a new belief on top. You could create a
Speaker 1: new belief that it's like the person who is listening
Speaker 1: to that intuition, the person who is following their heart,
Speaker 1: always has their dream reality, and you would replace it
Speaker 1: with a new belief that feels better, that honors how
Speaker 1: you want to feel. I love that. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I do. And that's even something I've been leaning into recently.
Speaker 1: Is any time you think like you have a projection
Speaker 1: that someone is judging you or you shouldn't do something
Speaker 1: for judgment reasons. Yeah, really bringing it back to how
Speaker 1: am I judging myself here? Because it's so easy to
Speaker 1: put the blame on other people and society, and of
Speaker 1: course it like it is, it's it's not actually us.
Speaker 1: But if this was a judge on myself, like bringing
Speaker 1: it back to their because I do find it's easier
Speaker 1: to work through rewiring like my subconscious and my beliefs
Speaker 1: when I do it that way. I love that. And
Speaker 1: just asking yourself the question, because as long as you're
Speaker 1: okay with what you're doing, it shouldn't matter. And this
Speaker 1: is A really good thing to start is I guarantee
Speaker 1: you if you judge yourself. Let's go back to my
Speaker 1: example of being that person who's like a hot mess
Speaker 1: because they change their mind, I catch yourself. I guarantee
Speaker 1: you judge others. You would not judge yourself if you
Speaker 1: weren't judging others for the same thing, If you weren't
Speaker 1: judging others for the same thing. So the next time
Speaker 1: that that comes up and your reality, catch yourself and go, oh,
Speaker 1: I was just about to judge that person and project
Speaker 1: that they didn't have their shit together because they changed
Speaker 1: their mind. Can I have a new belief on this?
Speaker 1: Can I decide differently because you not putting judgment on
Speaker 1: someone else will then reflect and you not judging yourself.
Speaker 1: I love that because it's almost that thing of like,
Speaker 1: the people who have succeeded at doing what you want
Speaker 1: to do will never judge you because they've been there totally.
Speaker 1: And it's that thing like when it comes to pivoting.
Speaker 1: I guess when I look at like people's stories, because
Speaker 1: I love looking at people who've had insane amounts of success,
Speaker 1: like their journey. There's always heaps of decisions that just
Speaker 1: don't make sense until you look at the entire journey
Speaker 1: as a whole and you're like, oh, I can kind
Speaker 1: of see how they were feeling like that would have
Speaker 1: been the right thing, but in the moment, there's no
Speaker 1: way anyone ever thought that that was the right decision.
Speaker 1: But then it falls into place and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: of course that made sense. But it's reinforcing that within yourself.
Speaker 1: Of like, if I trust my gut and my intuition
Speaker 1: and being in tune with yourself and trusting yourself, I
Speaker 1: guess then you can't go wrong, and that maybe in
Speaker 1: ten years time, with hindsight, everyone will go I get
Speaker 1: why she did what she did totally. And it's it's
Speaker 1: also just would you rather live a life making decisions
Speaker 1: from other people's projections and point of view, or would
Speaker 1: you rather make a life where you get to decide
Speaker 1: because it feels good for you and decide like you know,
Speaker 1: getting into that because it's like I remember making decisions,
Speaker 1: you know, like doing my law degree, which is very
Speaker 1: much I was trying to please other people, and I
Speaker 1: felt so scat, I felt so like empty, whereas now
Speaker 1: I make decisions from my heart and my intuition, and
Speaker 1: they absolutely don't make sense to other people sometimes, but
Speaker 1: it's like I can live with myself because they're mine exactly,
Speaker 1: and you're the only person you have to answer to
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Yes, yeah, all right,
