Ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still wondering, why does this feel so wrong? This week, I sat down with my dear friend Jenny Jansen to talk about the messy pivots that actually bring you back to yourself.

Jenny’s story is one for the books: she started out teaching fifth graders, realized the real work she loved was those heart-to-heart recess talks, and then walked straight into a full-on quarter-life crisis. We’re talking Starbucks mornings, late-night shifts, ugly cries on the couch, and a whole lot of surrender.

But here’s the thing, those two years of chaos became the foundation for everything she does now as a therapist and master coach. Jenny and I dive into what it actually looks like to choose yourself over and over again, even when your brain is screaming bad idea, and why asking for help is the most adult thing you can do.

This conversation is funny, raw, and packed with mic-drop wisdom about trusting your nudges, rewriting your “shoulds,” and pivoting into a life that feels not just aligned, but actually alive.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔️The real story behind Jenny quitting teaching with no Plan B

✔️How surrendering timing (again and again) changed everything

✔️Why following a “tiny nudge” (like a free podcast membership) can blow open your whole career

✔️The Adult Chair model, what it is, and why it matters if you’re pivoting

✔️How to know if you’re half-assing two things instead of full-assing one

✔️Why “should” is a dirtier word than the F-bomb“Every single minute we’re alive is an opportunity to pivot. You don’t have to wait for the universe’s permission slip.”
