Think staying in your “stable” job is the responsible move? Faith Vavra thought so too, until she walked away from a predictable paycheck, as a newly single mom, with barely $300 in her bank account.

In this firecracker of a conversation, Faith shares how she went from playing it safe to playing big, blending strategy with a whole lot of self-trust (and just the right amount of chaos). We talk legacy, risk, and what happens when you finally stop living by everyone else’s rules.

💥 Inside:

• Why safety can be a trap in disguise

• The real reason so many women stay stuck

• How to pivot when you're scared sh*tless

• The best job interview question you’re not asking

• What it actually takes to reinvent yourself mid-career

This episode is your permission slip to stop settling and start listening to that little whisper inside you that says, “There’s more.” (Because there is. And it’s waiting for you.)

You finally got the job. You negotiated the raise. You said yes to the thing you worked so hard for. And yet… something still feels off.

In this episode, I’m sharing what really happened after I made one of my biggest career pivots—how I advocated for myself, got the role I wanted, and then still found myself wrestling with guilt, anxiety, and a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.

Because no one talks about this part.

We think the leap will solve it all. But what if the real work starts after the pivot?

Here’s what I cover: ✔️ The identity shift that made my negotiation powerful—and successful ✔️ The sneaky ways we self-sabotage, even after getting what we want ✔️ Why I had to let go of the “hard worker” identity to finally feel free ✔️ A reflective exercise to help you rewrite your professional self-concept

This one’s for you if: – You’ve landed your dream role but still feel stuck, guilty, or anxious – You’re afraid to pivot because you think, “What if I still feel the same?” – You’re done with burnout, but not sure how to be someone who doesn’t hustle to exhaustion

Ever had a time in your life that just felt… magical? Like everything was flowing, you were saying yes to adventure, and you felt truly alive? What if I told you that you don’t need to quit your job or move to Bali to get that feeling back?

In this episode, I reflect on one of the most magical years of my life—and the surprising realization that I wasn’t happy because of my circumstances… I was happy because of my perspective.

You’ll learn: ✔️ The one mindset shift that made my year feel effortless and exciting ✔️ How I unknowingly created the magic (and why you can too) ✔️ How seeing your current situation as temporary can shift everything ✔️ Simple ways to bring adventure back into your daily life—without drastic change

What if you knew your job, your routine, or your “stuck” season was temporary? How would you show up differently? Let’s talk about it.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Pivot Point with Laura Dionisio! 🎉

If you’ve ever looked around at your career—the one you worked so hard for, the one you once dreamed of—and thought… wait, is this it? then, friend, this podcast is for you.

In this episode, I dive into: ☕ The moment I first questioned if my career was truly fulfilling ☕ The unexpected guilt that comes with wanting more ☕ What happened when I finally admitted my desires—without forcing a plan ☕ A pivotal career shift that changed my entire perspective on success

The truth is, pivoting in your career isn’t a betrayal of your past self—it’s an act of alignment with who you are now. And sometimes, the first step isn’t action—it’s simply allowing yourself to dream again.
