The Soft Pivot: Reinventing Life on Your Own Terms, with Christian Sismone | S2, E12

Sometimes the life you worked hard to build stops feeling like the life you want to live. That does not mean you failed at life—you definitely haven’t.

But it might mean that some changes need to happen. In “The Soft Pivot: Reinventing Life on Your Own Terms,” Lisa Hurley welcomes Life Strategist, Senior Project Manager, and Mystique Femininity creator Christian Sismone for a conversation about recognizing when you have outgrown an old version of your life and are ready to intentionally create what comes next.

In this episode of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, Lisa and Christian will explore what happens when women begin questioning the roles, expectations, and habits that have shaped their lives, and start making choices based on who they are now. They will also talk about the pressure many women, especially Black women, experience to remain endlessly capable, independent, and self-sufficient, even when their goals, health, or minds, and bodies require support.

You will discover: 💚 How to recognize when the life you built no longer reflects who you are 💚 Why reinvention can begin with clarity rather than crisis 💚 What is a soft pivot and why you might need one right now 💚 How to move from performing your life to actually inhabiting it 💚 Why asking for and receiving support is essential when your goals exceed your individual capacity 💚 How softness, strategy, and self-trust can work together to shape what comes next Join Lisa and Christian for a thoughtful conversation about intentional reinvention, lasting change, and creating a life that aligns with who you are today. 💚 Enjoying Space To Exhale? 🎧 Listen, follow and rate on Spotify 🎧 Listen, follow, rate, and review on Apple 🎧 Listen, follow, and rate on Audible ▶️ Watch, subscribe, and comment on YouTube 📤 Share your favorite episode with a friend who needs a little space to exhale 😊 🙏🏾 Get The Gentle Breath Newsletter The Gentle Breath is Lisa Hurley's Sunday newsletter featuring affirmations, reflections, wellbeing resources, podcast updates, and gentle encouragement for living a soft, centered, serene life.
