I'm an Avid Pivoter (Though You Might Call It a Quitter)

Artist in Business

Hey there, fellow creative entrepreneurs! Today’s episode is a raw and unfiltered exploration of a topic that often carries a heavy stigma: quitting. Buckle up—I’m about to spill the tea on why quitting isn’t always the villain it’s made out to be.

I’ve spent a lifetime wrestling with task completion. You know, the classic scenario where you start a project with gusto, only to abandon it halfway through? Yep, that’s been my jam. Society labels it as flakiness or lack of commitment, but what if—just hear me out—it’s more about recalibrating our compass?

In this episode, I share personal anecdotes—the messy ones, the ones that don’t fit neatly into success stories. There’s vulnerability here, my friends. I talk about the weight of societal expectations—the pressure to persist even when the path feels like quicksand.

But then, a game-changer: a conversation that felt like a lightning bolt. Someone looked me in the eye (well, metaphorically—we were on Zoom) and said, “Hey, quitting isn’t failure; it’s a pivot.” Suddenly, my perspective shifted. Maybe quitting isn’t waving the white flag; maybe it’s adjusting the sails.

We’ll dive into the power of long-term vision. Not the sprint, but the marathon. Because sometimes, quitting a sprint means you’re gearing up for the long haul. And self-awareness? Oh, it’s my trusty compass now. Knowing when to pivot, when to dig in, and when to dance with uncertainty.

And let’s talk trial and error. It’s like throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. Spoiler alert: Some of my best life decisions came from sticky spaghetti.

So, whether you’re battling feelings of inadequacy or just craving fresh perspectives on goal-setting, this episode is your pep talk. Because guess what? Imperfections are our canvas—the brushstrokes that make us beautifully human.

Grab your favorite mug (or maybe a quirky chalice—I won’t judge), and let’s explore why quitting isn’t the end; it’s just a plot twist in our epic saga.

Remember, my fellow marathoners, life isn’t about sprinting; it’s about finding our rhythm and dancing to it. 🎨🏃‍♀️✨
