We're starting 2025 by giving ourselves - and you! - what we're calling permission to pivot. Things change, life, kids, relationships, jobs, what makes us happy...and it's important to always listen to yourself and be true to what your guts is saying. What once worked may change, and that's ok! In this episode, T.H. talks to one of our OG exEXPERT faves, Susan Guthrie, about permission to pivot and how we're making some changes and focusing on things that bring us joy (and money!) in a different way. It's a reminder that you don't always have to stay in the same place, because life moves quickly and you have every right to take advantage of every opportunity.
