🎙️ Unfiltered with Roxy - Episode 21: The Pivot: Why It’s Hard… But Necessary
Turning life’s unexpected detours into fuel for your dreams
Welcome to Unfiltered with Roxy!
In this episode, we’re diving into one of life’s most challenging realities — the pivot. Whether it’s a sudden job loss, a health crisis, or a relationship ending, pivots can feel like they shake your whole world. I’m sharing my own stories — from losing what I thought was my dream job to navigating my mom’s cancer diagnosis — and how these experiences taught me the value of dream time, self-care, and staying agile when life changes direction.
Episode Summary
From basketball “suicides” in high school to life’s own sprints and stops, this episode unpacks what it means to pivot with grace, faith, and purpose. I share why self-care is about more than bubble baths, how planning for your dreams keeps resentment at bay, and the hard truth that sometimes God ends a chapter before we’re ready.
Key Lessons & Themes:
The Pivot is Inevitable: Change is coming whether you want it or not — your response determines your outcome.
Dream Time Matters: Having big, audacious goals gives you something to work toward when disappointment hits.
Self-Care as Preparation: Build a life that can bend without breaking — spiritually, emotionally, and practically.
The Dream Time check List:
Break each into small, doable steps.

Quote of the Day
“The pivot isn’t the end of the dream — it’s just the turn toward the next one.”
