The Mountain Is You: Facing Yourself in the Middle of a Pivot

Send us Fan MailIn this special solo(ish) episode, Cassie and Lauren shake things up with a powerful book review of The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest — a guide that hits right at the heart of what it means to change, grow, and face yourself honestly.Instead of our usual guest conversation, we're unpacking the deeply personal (and sometimes uncomfortable) truths that emerge when we confront our own patterns, self-sabotage, and internal resistance — especially during a major life pivot.This episode is for the women in the messy middle — high-achieving, driven, constantly doing for others — who are ready to pause and ask: What’s the mountain I keep circling… and how do I finally climb it?We explore:Why self-sabotage is often mistaken for protectionThe role of honesty in healing and growthHow fear of discomfort keeps us stuckThe difference between change we want and change we’re ready forOur own vulnerable moments of avoidance and truth-tellingWhether you're contemplating a shift, knee-deep in one, or recovering from a pivot you didn’t choose — this conversation is for you.Links + Resources:The Mountain Is You by Brianna WiestFollow us on Instagram: @WhenShePivots
