The Purpose Pivot: How to Know When It’s Time to Change Direction Today's episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads wondering, “Is this the moment I’m supposed to move?” Because sometimes the hardest part of a pivot isn’t making the change, it’s trusting that the change is leading you somewhere better.In this episode, I sit down with Kendra Bracken Ferguson, a contributing author of The Purpose Pivot by Melissa Gonzalez, for a powerful conversation about recognizing when it’s time to change direction, release old versions of yourself, and step boldly into what’s next.Get your copy of The Purpose Pivot here: https://amzn.to/458GnwS In This EpisodeHow to recognize when it’s time for a pivotWhy clarity often comes after you take the first stepThe difference between quitting and being redirectedHow to make decisions from purpose instead of fearWhy your next season may require a new version of youPractical Activation StepsAsk yourself: “What is this season trying to teach me?”Identify one decision you’ve been avoiding.Take one small step toward the future you feel called to create.Episode Affirmations I trust the transitions that are leading me forward.I have permission to evolve.My purpose is bigger than my current season.Journal Prompt What is one thing I know I need to change, but I’ve been afraid to admit?This Week’s New Day Challenge Take one courageous step toward the thing you’ve been asking for.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/new-day-with-sybil-amuti--5408422/support.New Day with Sybil Amuti is brought to you by The Great Girlfriends - A media company dedicated to empowering women in community.Got a show idea?
