I’ve pivoted careers more time than I can count
I too decided the career I had picked for myself as a teenager wasn’t a fit.
It’s a little wild that we expect teenagers to pick careers that will fit them for the rest of their lives, isn’t it? Today, that feels archaic. Yet, it’s still what we do.
Like most people the career I picked wasn’t a fit. I wasn’t making the kind of money I wanted to make. I wasn’t getting to see my family, missing holidays and birthday parties. And the thing was, I never remembered why I missed the big event, only that I had. Ultimately, the work was not that important.
So I decided to change careers, using my transferable skills to get a different kind of job. And people took notice! They asked me how I did it and if I could help them too. And I did. And I myself pivoted again and again, trying to find work that matched my energy, what I was good at, and the kind of life I wanted to live.
Now, I’ve helped 200+ people pivot in the past 2 years, making my clients over $2 million more than their investment in me. And I’m hooked.
Imagine what life will be like when you have work that matches the life you want to live.

“I accepted a fully-remote position, above my target salary range, doing work that I enjoy.”
Working with Cristin is like working with an expert, coach, friend, and cheerleader all in one. In the end, I accepted a fully-remote position, above my target salary range, doing work that I enjoy and wanted to do more of – all the major points I had hoped for but didn’t think would be possible.
