This week’s episode with Jodie Sweetin is a pinch-me moment, as someone who grew up watching (almost exclusively) Full House. Jodie is an author, producer, counselor, and most notably, the actress who has graced our screens as Stephanie Tanner in the iconic shows, Full House and Fuller House. Jodie experienced the full highs and lows of a career by the age of 13, when Full House ended, leading to a decades long struggle with addiction. Not only did she overcome her addiction, but she took her experience and turned it into helping others, becoming a sobriety counselor and working at a drug treatment facility.

In honor of Black History Month, Bea Dixon joins me to share her journey from working as a pharmacy technician and running a cleaning business to struggling with chronic Bacterial Vaginosis—an experience that ultimately led her to create The Honey Pot. She opens up about the pivotal moment when her grandmother came to her in a dream with a natural remedy, how she turned that dream into a thriving business, and the mindset that helped her build a $380 million company. We talk about the power of intuition, the importance of purpose-driven work, and what it really takes to create wealth. Bea’s story is one of resilience, faith, and hustle, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

I am absolutely thrilled to debut the incredible story of Yvonne Wells for the first time ever on a podcast. Yvonne is an 85-year-old folk artist, who creates the most striking quilts that depict stories from the Civil Rights Movement and the Bible. Her work has been featured in the Smithsonian, the International Quilt Museum, and at the White House. But this late-in-life renaissance was never an expected pivot for her. In fact, she didn’t begin quilting until she was almost 40, having spent her life teaching physical education. I was blown away by her story - from being at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to finally accepting her title as artist in her post-retirement life.

We’re kicking off Season 4 of She Pivots with podcast royalty - Armchair Expert co-creator and co-host, Monica Padman!

I’ve always marveled at Monica’s ability at getting her guests to open up. But her own story is one that I think is so important to lift up. Monica didn’t just stumble into her current role. She started as a babysitter and assistant for Dax Shepard (her now co-host) and Kristin Bell, all while pursuing her dream of being an actress. Once the idea for Armchair Expert emerged, Monica leaned into the opportunity, embracing the unexpected, while also staying aligned to who she is at her core. Her story showcases the importance of assistants, who bring a massive skill set to their roles and are often the best at building something from the ground up, and the reality that taking a path you didn’t plan can actually lead you to where you’re meant to be.

I’m so excited to kick off our new season next week. As always, I’ll be sitting down with extraordinary women who have taken a risk and followed their hearts, minds, and instincts to make pivots that have changed their lives for the better.

This season, we’re focusing on why women pivot and the nonlinear paths that women often take. Because…drumroll please…I pivoted again. Last fall, I dove back into politics—my once-abandoned career—joining the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. It led me to working full-time in my old field, living in a swing state, away from my family, and working around the clock. And, despite the outcome, I loved it. I had doubts about whether I could still do it, now as a mother of three, and stepping back into that world felt like whiplash and familiar all at the same time. Now, I’m entering this season in a different headspace. The world feels different, but I keep coming back to the importance of sharing these incredible stories. So, in season 4, we’re making extra space for those twists and turns that are just part of life - and betting on yourself.
