Listen "The Pivot Starts Here"
Episode Synopsis
This season, we’re exploring the art of the pivot - both intentional and unexpected - and how those defining moments reshape who we are and how we show up in the world. And in this solo kickoff episode, I go first.I share the story behind the boldest pivot of my life: leaving the safety and predictability of a traditional career to step into the unknown as a business owner - and eventually, a true entrepreneur.From failure and fear to freedom and fulfilment, this episode is raw, reflective, and real. I open up about the parts of myself I had to leave behind, what I’ve learnt about success on the other side of change, and why pivots - while uncomfortable - are often the start of something far more meaningful.You’ll also hear about the new format for Season 2. Each guest will respond to the same 12 unscripted questions, revealing the insights and truths that sit just beneath the surface of our conscious minds.If you’re standing on the edge of a pivot -personal or professional - this episode is for you.What You’ll Hear:Why Season 2 is dedicated to all things pivotWhat pushed me to leave full-time employmentThe emotional cost of letting go of securityThe difference between being a business owner and an entrepreneurMy lessons from failing forwardHow a scene from Friends inspired this themeA book that’s been pivotal in my own journeyMy advice for anyone at a life crossroadsMentioned in This Episode:📚 The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest🎬 That Friends scene (yes, the one with Ross yelling “PIVOT!”)Join the Conversation:💬What’s your takeaway from this episode?Tag me or DM me – I’d love to hear what Unscripted with Lisa Burling has meant to you.Let’s Connect!📲 Instagram:@lisaburling_entrepreneurThank you for tuning into Unscripted!
