Unscripted Pivots: Inspiring Stories from WTF [Women That Flourish]

Welcome to Unscripted Pivots. Today is the final installment of my four-part series exploring the four powerful C's every woman should cultivate. And I'm talking all about confidence - the backbone of successful pivots.

Together we'll explore seven scenarios where confidence challenges might arise and how the other three C's we've been discussing - courage, curiosity, and connection - can help us develop, strengthen, and cultivate confidence.

What is Unscripted Pivots: Inspiring Stories from WTF [Women That Flourish]?

If you’re looking to find connectivity in the female experience, you’ve found the right podcast. Unscripted Pivots (UP) takes a deep dive into how women can masterfully chart their lives only to end up in the most unexpected places. "Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans" and the most unpredictable detours, our “WTF” experiences, can shape us in ways we never dreamed possible. My podcast invites women to redefine “WTF”, calling them “Women That Flourish” moments instead. I’m your host, Danielle Sprouls, aka "The WTF* Lady", and my mission is to bring you weekly interviews with inspiring stories of women empowerment, identity loss, entrepreneurship, leadership, mental health, and more. We’re here to celebrate a woman's adaptability, resilience, and perseverance. No matter our unexpected detours, we can always move UP.
