For our final episode of She Pivots season three, Ally shares how that terrifying accident taught her a lot about herself and life; her time at the renowned dance academy, Alvin Ailey; her big break into Peloton; and her new partnership with Contigo as Chief Hydration Officer. She also gets real about the comparison game and how learning to be happy about others’ successes - and her own - has allowed her to embrace abundance and live a more joyful life.

Emily left her full-time career in politics several years ago, pivoting after having three kids in three years. But as many of our guests know, pivots can be more of a blurred line than we once thought.

As a suburban swing district mom, Emily is now the person she was always trying to reach in her political career - and now she can bring that perspective directly to Swing Left. And who better to talk with about everything election-related than the Executive Director of Swing Left, Yasmin Radjy, who made her own pivot back into politics! In this timely episode of She Pivots, Yasmin shares how Swing Left is moving the needle in the upcoming election and the high-impact tools at our disposal to make a difference.

In 2005, Rachelle Steele was stationed in Mississippi for her job in the Navy when Hurricane Katrina hit. With two daughters, just six-months-old and eighteen-months-old, Rachelle fought for their survival—and then began to document what was happening around her. Those events left her with photography PTSD, and she didn’t pick up a camera for another 5 years. It took time, but she eventually became an award-winning photographer and has been one of a select group of artists named “International Portrait Photographer of the Year” for three years in a row. On this episode of She Pivots, Rachelle recounts her childhood and the loss of her father to addiction at a young age; her time in a biker gang; her decision to return to photography; and how the work she did during her Master of Fine Arts in Photography helped her heal.

As an Emmy-winning reporter on the hugely popular ABC7 in New York City, Darla Miles is no stranger to talking to individuals about some of their lowest lows, and their highest highs.

That’s why this episode is so incredibly special. On this Candid Convo, of She Pivots, Darla shares why she felt compelled to bring Black voices to the television; her unconventional path to becoming a reporter; the loss of her husband when she was only 41; her complicated and challenging fertility journey; and why she still has hope to this day.

If you’ve gone to get a blowout, you most likely stepped foot into a Drybar - founded by this week’s guest, Alli Webb. Drybar was a revolutionary concept that transformed the hair care industry by focusing exclusively on blowouts. What started as a single mobile service grew into a national brand with over 150 locations and a line of professional hair products. So why did Alli decide to sell the company? And how did selling the company lead to an identity crisis? On this episode of She Pivots, Alli answers that question plus: how Drybar started as a mobile business so she could “get out of the house for a couple hours”; how her professional life changed as a result of her son’s mental health struggles and loss of her mother to cancer; dealing with depression; taking her power back by writing her bestselling book, “The Messy Truth”; and candid insights into the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
