Together, they unpack what it feels like when success no longer fits, why so many women stay stuck in “linear” expectations, and how small pivots often create the biggest transformations.LauraAura also opens up about one of her own biggest pivots — walking away from a commercial building project after realizing it no longer aligned with the life and business she actually wanted to create.This episode is a reminder that pivots aren’t failures.
