The guilt of business pivots can be crushing. That nagging feeling of "Oh, what's she doing NOW?" or "Another business idea gone to waste" – we've been there, and we know you might be feeling it too.
As two neurodivergent business owners who've navigated multiple pivots, we're pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with changing direction. For Mia, her ADHD meant continually seeking new dopamine hits when business ventures became challenging. For Kristen, being a manifesting generator meant she was literally designed to do multiple things, yet carried shame around her various business evolutions.
What we've discovered through our collective journeys is that pivoting isn't failure—it's often necessary exploration. We discuss how to distinguish between pivoting from boredom versus pivoting from genuine misalignment, and why developing income streams through brand collaborations gives you the financial breathing room to find your true path without pressure.
The most powerful revelation? When you discover your deep why—the core mission that transcends any particular business model—you gain a compass for evaluating potential pivots. We share how finding this anchor has transformed our businesses and can transform yours too.
Whether you're contemplating a pivot now or have pivoted so many times you've lost count, this episode offers validation, strategic guidance, and a reminder that nothing in your entrepreneurial journey is wasted. Each step, even the seemingly misguided ones, brings you closer to what you're truly meant to create.
Ready to fund your pivots while discovering your aligned path? Join us for a judgment-free conversation about embracing your multi-passionate nature while building a sustainable business.
