[PERMISSION SLIP] to change your mind & pivot when life doesn't feel aligned

I want you to use today's episode as your permission slip to change your mind and pivot!

Most of us (OK, all of us) can probably think of a time when we wanted to achieve something, but how many roadblocks got in the way? A lot of times we confuse failure and redirection as the same thing, when in reality they are vastly different.

What you do when you hit the roadblock determines if you go the route of failure or redirection.

When I started out in new grad life I moved 1,000 miles away from home and 2 weeks later the pandemic hit... People ask how it was being a nurse during the pandemic and honestly I don't know anything different. But I made the decision early on in my nursing career that I was meant for more and I was determined to make a bigger impact - even if I didn't know what that looked like at the time.

Fastforward to September 2021 and this podcast, Built To Be You was born! I realized that what I was previously doing with other side businesses wasn't aligned anymore... so I pivoted.  And I have a feeling you can relate - when was a time in your life when you felt unaligned or maybe you hit your rock bottom?

There was some time where I totally thought I was going to leave bedside nursing, but then I shifted those thoughts and found things to add that brought me joy! I call these things "soft skills" - the things you like doing, aren't super technical, but are transferable.

When you take time to pause and reflect you can decide what things you want to take with you and what you want to leave behind.

Give yourself the permission slip to bless and release the pressure that society, coworkers, friends, etc. put on you. Friend, be YOU! Do what lights you up and know that what she is doing might not be what you are doing, and that is OK!

I hope that my story allows you to realize you are able to fully create your own story.
