Pivoting Your Business Isn’t Failure — It’s the Path to Alignment: Ashley Langer’s Reinvention & Entrepreneurial Journey from Event Planning to Digital Membership to Fashion Founder [Ep. 67]
Description
What if letting go of a “successful” business isn’t failure, but freedom?
In this episode of Money Magnet Mama, I sit down with my client and friend Ashley Langer — community builder, networking queen, and now the founder of the hot new brand Hot Tommies — a fashion-forward heated vest line for women.
Ashley opens up about:
✨ Building her first business, Business Socialistas, and scaling a profitable membership.
✨ The moment she knew it was time to pivot, even though it looked “successful” on the outside.
✨ Releasing the shame around closing one chapter to open the next.
✨ How she leveraged her community + network to launch a physical product brand.
✨ Why pivots aren’t failure — they’re your launchpad to alignment.
Ashley’s story is proof that your first business doesn’t have to be your forever business. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away and make space for the dream that’s actually yours.
