Kaitlyn Joshua is a faith organizer and activist whose advocacy for reproductive freedom is rooted in one of the most painful experiences of her life. In this episode, Kaitlyn shares how what began as a planned pregnancy turned into a medical crisis—when she was turned away from the emergency room twice while miscarrying, left to suffer for months without care. This moment wasn’t just a pivot — it was a reckoning. As a woman of faith, Kaitlyn recognized that her experience was not an anomaly; it was the direct result of restrictive reproductive policies in a post-Roe America. Fueled by her personal trauma and deep commitment to justice, Kaitlyn has become a powerful national voice, co-founding Abortion in America, joining the Harris-Walz campaign trail, and being named one of Glamour’s Women of the Year.

In this episode, Jessica shares the remarkable story of how she went from crunching numbers in finance to chasing her long-held dream of performing on Broadway. Her pivot wasn’t instant — it took years of persistence, odd jobs, missed opportunities, and unshakable belief.

But behind the Hollywood glamour is a story of quiet courage, resilience, and reinvention.

After her ex-husband lost their money, Jane was on the brink of losing her home and forced to start over. With incredible warmth and candor, she shares how she navigated that darkness, and how choosing to say yes—to new opportunities, to healing, to love—helped her build an entirely new life in her 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Caitlin Murray had built a full life as a working mom of two, preparing to return full-time to her job after the birth of her third child - until everything changed. When her oldest son was diagnosed with leukemia, Caitlin made the decision to stay home, putting her career on pause to care for her family during an unimaginably hard season of life. What started as writing to cope slowly evolved into “Big Time Adulting,” a viral Instagram account that now resonates with over a million people.

Elaine Welteroth had already made a name for herself as a trailblazer—breaking glass ceilings as the youngest-ever and first Black Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, elevating the conversation around politics and culture in fashion media, and later stepping into new roles as a bestselling author and Project Runway judge. But it was motherhood that sparked her most personal and powerful pivot yet. In this episode, Elaine opens up about the challenges of her pregnancy journey, how discovering midwifery care changed everything, and why she launched birthFUND—an initiative aimed at tackling America’s maternal health crisis by expanding access to affirming birth care.

Hilary Hoffman had achieved what so many strive for in the finance world: a high-powered job at one of the most elite institutions, Goldman Sachs. But, like so many women I talk to on this show, Hilary felt called to take a leap of faith and make a big pivot, leaving finance behind and launching SotoMethod - the latest in-demand workout class both in New York City and online. On this episode, Hilary opens up about the tough and pragmatic choices she had to make in leaving behind a secure job and jumping into the world of entrepreneurship; her motivation for creating a fitness brand that focuses on sculpting and efficiency (for those of us with packed calendars!); and her challenging pregnancy journey.

Michelle Hord had a thriving professional life, collecting achievement after achievement as the Vice President of Creative Content and Talent Management for NBCUniversal. But all that came crashing down when her ex-husband murdered her seven-year-old daughter, Gabrielle. In the dark aftermath of such immense loss, Michelle was faced with questions around faith, identity, and the question we ask ourselves in times of grief: what comes next? In this emotional episode, Michelle shares how she laid out her roadmap for healing in her bestselling book, "The Other Side of Yet” - and how she moved through sorrow, through anger, numbness, even hope, and eventually arrived at a place where life could continue.

Anastasia Ganias-Gellin was a thriving actress, appearing in iconic shows like Dexter, True Blood, Desperate Housewives and more. But when her father fell ill, Anastasia left Hollywood behind to return to New York to care for him and intentionally build her family. During that time - and after her father passed - Anastasia turned to cooking, her Greek-American family’s love language, to heal. That personal connection to cooking turned into more than a hobby when Anastasia decided to launch Fancy Peasant, the household pantry staple you can now find in stores like Erewhon.

Laura Modi’s decision to walk away from her career in tech and found Bobbie, her transformative baby formula company, came from personal experiences–and struggles–with feeding her own children. She set out with a goal to not just create a better baby formula, but to create a better conversation: one where moms could make the best choice for their families without guilt, without judgment, and with full confidence that their babies were getting the nutrition they needed. As a mom who struggled through the breastfeeding process, I’m personally thankful for Laura’s willingness to work to change the conversation and deliver quality, FDA-approved organic baby formula.

Today, the queen of personal finance, Tori Dunlap joins us to talk about her pivot from her corporate job to founding one of the most successful financial education platforms. She is the Founder and CEO of Her First 100K, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Financial Feminist, and host of her successful podcast also called Financial Feminist. But her pivot was driven by something we all experienced in 2016: the election of Donald Trump. It was then that she realized how much power and freedom money held, especially for women, as she achieved her own goal of saving $100k before turning 25. Now, she passes the critical financial tools she honed on to other women, empowering them to negotiate a raise, pay off debt, build wealth, and contribute to their local economies.

This week, I am thrilled to share our very special LIVE episode with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer from our conversation at Sixth & I in Washington, D.C. Governor Whitmer first took public office at only 32 years old. During her 22 years of public service, Governor Whitmer has always led with grace - and a whole lot of grit. On this episode, Governor Whitmer reflects on her experience in the “sandwich generation,” taking care of her newborn and her mother, all while starting her political career in the Michigan legislature. (She even engages in some fun banter with one of her daughters who was in the audience!) She also shares some important wisdom from her book, True Gretch (now available in a young adult edition!), including the importance of being yourself.

In light of recent news, I decided to re-release our episode with Tetiana Poudel, the Ukrainian woman who returned home to help with the war effort. Over these past few months, it has felt difficult to grasp onto actions that feel meaningful when it seems like everything is out of our hands. While this episode won’t repair what is happening, I hope it will give a face and a voice to the war. In this emotional episode, you’ll hear Tetiana recount her personal experience as a Ukrainian civilian volunteer working to help her father’s unit in the war. She explains her decision to leave her job at Spotify in Silicon Valley to return home to her family and help in whatever way she could. Now, she has started a venture capital firm, founded to source and nurture pre-seed stage defense tech companies with an impact on Ukraine’s victory.

This week’s episode with Jodie Sweetin is a pinch-me moment, as someone who grew up watching (almost exclusively) Full House. Jodie is an author, producer, counselor, and most notably, the actress who has graced our screens as Stephanie Tanner in the iconic shows, Full House and Fuller House. Jodie experienced the full highs and lows of a career by the age of 13, when Full House ended, leading to a decades long struggle with addiction. Not only did she overcome her addiction, but she took her experience and turned it into helping others, becoming a sobriety counselor and working at a drug treatment facility.

I am absolutely thrilled to debut the incredible story of Yvonne Wells for the first time ever on a podcast. Yvonne is an 85-year-old folk artist, who creates the most striking quilts that depict stories from the Civil Rights Movement and the Bible. Her work has been featured in the Smithsonian, the International Quilt Museum, and at the White House. But this late-in-life renaissance was never an expected pivot for her. In fact, she didn’t begin quilting until she was almost 40, having spent her life teaching physical education. I was blown away by her story - from being at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to finally accepting her title as artist in her post-retirement life.

We’re kicking off Season 4 of She Pivots with podcast royalty - Armchair Expert co-creator and co-host, Monica Padman! I’ve always marveled at Monica’s ability at getting her guests to open up. But her own story is one that I think is so important to lift up. Monica didn’t just stumble into her current role. She started as a babysitter and assistant for Dax Shepard (her now co-host) and Kristin Bell, all while pursuing her dream of being an actress. Once the idea for Armchair Expert emerged, Monica leaned into the opportunity, embracing the unexpected, while also staying aligned to who she is at her core. Her story showcases the importance of assistants, who bring a massive skill set to their roles and are often the best at building something from the ground up, and the reality that taking a path you didn’t plan can actually lead you to where you’re meant to be.

I’m so excited to kick off our new season next week. As always, I’ll be sitting down with extraordinary women who have taken a risk and followed their hearts, minds, and instincts to make pivots that have changed their lives for the better. This season, we’re focusing on why women pivot and the nonlinear paths that women often take. Because…drumroll please…I pivoted again. Last fall, I dove back into politics—my once-abandoned career—joining the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. It led me to working full-time in my old field, living in a swing state, away from my family, and working around the clock. And, despite the outcome, I loved it. I had doubts about whether I could still do it, now as a mother of three, and stepping back into that world felt like whiplash and familiar all at the same time. Now, I’m entering this season in a different headspace. The world feels different, but I keep coming back to the importance of sharing these incredible stories. So, in season 4, we’re making extra space for those twists and turns that are just part of life - and betting on yourself.

Emily left her full-time career in politics several years ago, pivoting after having three kids in three years. But as many of our guests know, pivots can be more of a blurred line than we once thought. With everything that's on the line in the upcoming presidential election, especially for women and moms, Emily is dipping her toe back in politics, joining the board of Swing Left. As a suburban swing district mom, Emily is now the person she was always trying to reach in her political career - and now she can bring that perspective directly to Swing Left. And who better to talk with about everything election-related than the Executive Director of Swing Left, Yasmin Radjy, who made her own pivot back into politics!
