When It’s Time to Pivot: Facing Fear, Judgment & Rising in Confidence
Founder’s Circle Panel Recap
This week inside our FemCity Founder’s Circle, we hosted a meaningful panel discussion on one of the most important topics in business and life: the art of the pivot.
We were joined by three remarkable women who’ve each reinvented themselves with grace, courage, and clarity:
Rebecca Russell, best-selling author and former romance novelist, now writing and mentoring women through transformation
Denise Stegall, menopause wellness consultant helping women navigate health and life shifts with power and joy
Melissa Tossell, interior designer with a spiritual lens, creating spaces that support healing and alignment
Here’s what we explored together:
The signs it’s time to pivot your life, brand, or business
How to face the fear of judgment—from others and yourself
What builds real confidence (spoiler: it’s not perfection)
The spiritual and strategic tools that help women rise again
Their stories were honest, inspiring, and deeply validating for anyone who’s ever questioned, “Is it too late for me to change?” or “Will people understand if I evolve?”
We hope this conversation inspires you to trust the whisper of your next chapter—and remember: you don’t need permission to grow.
