The "I" in Pivot

In this episode of Sisters-in-Law of Attraction, Sam and Christine dive into the “I” in the PIVOT method: Innovate. This conversation explores creativity, reinvention, and giving yourself permission to imagine what is next during life transitions like career changes, motherhood, and empty nesting.They explain why innovation is not reserved for “creative people,” how quiet space fuels new ideas, and how to mute the inner critic so you can build a new version of yourself.
