137: Why Do a Social Content Retreat?

I’m back from a weekend that shifted my mindset and gave me tangible assets to improve my business. Have you ever needed a confidence boost personally or professionally? Well, I needed both and this social media content retreat in San Diego, led by the one and only Jordan Reynolds, helped me in more ways than one. If you’re on the verge of burnout, living in the middle of it with little confidence for how to move forward, or simply want some professional photographs, content strategy, supportive women cheering you on, and some time away to reset, join us for her next retreat in April in Charleston, South Carolina! (Link in her bio below.) Highlights: (04:08) Yep, social media burnout is real, and I was feeling it (08:09) Wait, am I actually excited about batch recording again?! (10:22) Turns out doing everything solo might have been part of the problem (12:09) You made it through one pivot... so why are these feelings back again? (16:22) Plot twist: maybe I’m not done with organization after all (20:33) No laundry, no school runs, just me getting stuff DONE Mentioned: The Mom’s Organization Motivation Podcast @jordanreynoldsco for content strategy, photography, and retreats (find link to join us in Charleston in her bio) @jburshekphotography for photography @kaleigh.creative for photography and social media support Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast?

136: Life Lessons From a Homeschool Mom

We’re in our HOMESCHOOL ERA! Anyone else find themselves doing something unexpected and realizing that pivot just led to a bunch more pivots? As a former teacher of 15 years I shouldn’t be so surprised, but I never expected to be homeschooling our son in middle school. Yet, here we are making the most of it and currently studying the BEATITUDES in the Bible! So many life lessons to glean from those verses. While I did detour briefly in this episode to talk about perimenopause, the heat melting my nip covers when trying to batch record podcast episodes, and a shoutout to my bestie and her mom honoring the passing of their sweet Jock, I did manage to bring it back to some biblical teachings. If you’re down for a rollercoaster listening experience, I’m glad you’re here. Please pass this on if you have a friend who might be going through a pivot too! Highlights: (04:22) - Homeschool week two and we were already one inconvenience away from losing it on each other (08:10) Plot twist: apparently hosting a podcast about pivoting means God gives you LOTS of opportunities to practice (12:11) Sometimes the wrong shoes ruin the day. Sometimes it’s perimenopause. Sometimes it’s both. (16:12) From Bible to boobs (24:28) The apology tour begins: how Duke and I stopped spiraling and chose peace instead (32:42) Bad morning? Fine. Bad life? Absolutely not. We can pivot! Mentioned: The Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-10 Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast? I’d love for you to ‘write a review’ on Apple Podcasts.

135: Embracing AI, While Relying on God with Nicola Murphy

Anyone else have concerns about AI or as intimidated as I am? Having this conversation with my new friend and faithful believer, Nicola, helped me understand when and how to tap into useful AI resources and strategies without ignoring God’s voice. Nicola Murphy is a communication architect and learning designer who has spent 20 years closing the gap between what leaders say and what audiences actually do. Originally from New Zealand, she serves as Head of Microlearning Instructional Design for Gnowbe, a learning platform at the cutting edge of digitial technology, and is the founder of The Equip Academy, her consulting and coaching practice, where leaders and communicators come to build effective messages that stick and multiply in the lives of people. Through workshops, courses, speaking, and 1:1 coaching, Nicola equips communicators to drive real transformation; and she's especially fired up about doing that inside ministries and churches, in the spirit of Ephesians 4:12. This episode was enlightening and encouraging! Let me know if it changes the way you view AI. Highlights: (06:14) When the lights start acting up before an AI and faith conversation... yeah, we’re praying first (18:58) Your audience does not need EVERYTHING you know, and yes, that can hurt a little (25:00) Jesus answered questions with questions, and suddenly my mom-coaching strategy needs an update (29:02) Watch your “I’ll never” statements because apparently God keeps receipts (43:13) My brain officially exploded when I realized AI could help without replacing the actual thinking (56:10) The simplest AI filter of all: should I ask the computer, or should I ask God?

134: The 3 E’s on BizTV

The Palisades fire was the purge none of us ever expected to do! I spoke to Kelli Phillips from BizTV two years after my first interview to share how I’m still using my 3 E’s Philosophy, this time, to get through the stressful aftermath of this life-changing event. Whether getting organized in your home or processing catastrophic loss and trauma, while rebuilding your home from ground zero, it can be done 3 simple steps at a time. Keeping the stress and overwhelm at bay, means simplifying everything. Let’s continue to embrace change (even when we don’t want to) and pivot with confidence! Highlights: (01:30) Hair done, face on, BizTV interview complete (02:31) The original 3 E’s that helped me organize everything from clutter to chaos (04:49) Overwhelmed by all the information? This is your reminder to pick one thing and start there (06:03) Asking for help is not cheating, it might actually be the smartest part of your pivot (07:12) RIP the man cave: a very real lesson in making your space work for the season you’re actually in (08:58) Life will change a lot, but keeping things simple is still one of the best tools we’ve got Mentioned: Watch my two BizTV interviews on YouTube: From Ashes to Action 2026 Get Organized in 3 Simple Steps 2024 The Mom’s Organization Motivation Podcast Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast?

What Is It Costing You Not to Listen? This isn’t just the title of my brilliant guest’s book. It’s also a question we might not want to answer…yet.

132: “Faith It Til Ya Make It”

After my daughter’s declaration that she doesn’t like the idea of “faking it,” and later hearing the incomparable Dr Cheryl Wood say this familiar phrase a different way, I felt a shift in my perspective and motivation. I’ve always understood the intent of “fake it til ya make it,” but much like my wise 15 year old felt reservations about this often-used expression, I too questioned if “faking it” was the way to go, when the desire is to grow. When I heard Dr Cheryl reframe it using “faith” as the driving force behind “making it,” that resonated so much more for me! I’m curious what you think about the difference in “fake” & “faith,” when it comes to intentional growth. Highlights: (01:34) Stray hairs, and the perfect amount of unhinged (04:08) The moment “faith” stopped me in my tracks (05:42) Research first, panic spiral later (07:18) Shiny objects are cute, but focus gets you where you’re going (08:16) Asking for help before you become a one-woman burnout machine (12:08) Let God handle the timeline, because ours is usually doing the most Mentioned: Don’t miss my second guest interview on the Lip Service & Lashes Podcast with my hilarious, kind, and slightly unhinged friend and fellow entrepreneur, Chelsea Husum!

131: Let Your Focus (Positively) Expand

I’m sure you’ve heard that words have power and the way we speak to ourselves is powerful too! Inspired by our podcast episode on The Angie Ambrosetti Show, Angie and I continued our conversation off camera and something she said really stuck with me. Keeping our focus positive, when navigating all our feelings about life’s challenges, will expand. Obviously the opposite is true too, but in the name of positivity, let’s go with the former. I’m here for positive expansion, so here’s a quick episode on how we can make that happen! Highlights: (01:45) When book-writing nerves invite imposter syndrome to the party (03:39) The simple reminder that what you focus on expands (04:12) Why “fake it till you make it” does not work for everyone (05:28) The phrase that might make you rethink your negative self-talk (07:26) Yes, we are talking chili cheeseburgers and intentional choices (08:42) Feel the feelings, grab the fudge pops, then keep moving forward Mentioned: My episode on The Angie Ambrosetti Podcast: Episode 42: How to Pivot When Life Falls Apart with Paige Killian Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast?

129: I’m Your Success Coach!

In this episode, I’m giving you the full follow-up on Pitch Day 2026, the nerves, the stress, the talks that did not quite feel aligned, and the one that absolutely did. After a week that felt like everything was happening at once, I got to show up, share my story, and remember why pivoting has become such a powerful part of my message. I’m also sharing more about the coaching work I do, from organizing your space to helping you write your book, launch your podcast, prepare your talk, and share the story God has placed on your heart. Because your gifts are not meant to sit quietly in the corner. They are meant to be shared. Highlights: (01:41) - Pitch Day 2026, here we go again, but make it a sequel (04:55) - Failure is not the end, it is the part where we figure out the comeback (08:46) - I am not just organizing your closet, I am helping clear the clutter in your mind too (14:47) - Lexapro, therapy, and not pretending we are fine when we are absolutely not (20:23) - Passing my confidence on to you Mentioned: Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast?

128: The Blessings of “Failure”

In this episode, I’m sharing a real story from my own week, because sometimes something that looks like failure is actually God giving you redirection, a lesson, or a huge wave of relief you did not know you needed. I found myself juggling speaking opportunities, deadlines, grief, pressure, and one very energetic dog who seemed determined to make his podcast debut. I talk about what happened when I entered the Next Top Speaker competition, why it did not quite feel aligned, and how not making the top 100 became its own kind of blessing. If you have been putting pressure on yourself to make something work, this episode is your reminder that showing up still counts, setbacks do not define you, and your gifts are still meant to be shared. Highlights: (01:30) Turning that feeling of failure into finding the blessing (03:38) You know, not everyone needs to understand your calling (07:02) How the “Next Top Speaker” opportunity landed in my inbox (and why I decided to go for it) (16:42) Five talks in one week? Cute idea, wildly stressful in real life (24:43) Realizing a good opportunity might not be the right opportunity for this season (32:36) Keep showing up because that still counts Mentioned: Enjoying the Time To Pivot podcast?
