What if one small decision could change everything? Join me for this candid conversation with my friend Erin Kienzle as we talk about her journey of reinvention—multiple times over. Erin and I met two decades ago as young journalists working at the same television station in Charleston, South Carolina. Since then, she has pivoted in big ways, from TV news to entrepreneurship, launching her own business teaching people how to be comfortable on camera, and even becoming a benefit auctioneer, raising millions for nonprofits.
But none of this happened overnight. Erin shares how she walked away from a career she thought defined her, navigated a season of uncertainty, and eventually found herself stepping into something she never could have imagined. We talk about trusting your instincts, recognizing when it's time for change, and giving yourself permission to try something new—even when it’s scary.
Key Takeaways:
✨ It’s never too late to pivot—whether you’re 30, 40, 50, or beyond.
✨ Sometimes, all it takes is one person to show you what’s possible.
✨ The scariest thing can be pressing "post" on something new, but that first step can lead to incredible opportunities.
✨ Protecting your energy and learning to say no is essential for growth and success.
If you’re feeling that nudge to shake things up but aren’t sure where to start, this episode is for you.
