Anastasia Ganias-Gellin: From Hollywood Star to Fancy Peasant Founder
Anastasia Ganias-Gellin was a thriving actress, appearing in iconic shows like Dexter, True Blood, Desperate Housewives and more.

During that time - and after her father passed - Anastasia turned to cooking, her Greek-American family’s love language, to heal. That personal connection to cooking turned into more than a hobby when Anastasia decided to launch Fancy Peasant, the household pantry staple you can now find in stores like Erewhon.

Laura Modi: Bobbie’s Founder on Revolutionizing Baby Formula
Laura Modi’s decision to walk away from her career in tech and found Bobbie, her transformative baby formula company, came from personal experiences–and struggles–with feeding her own children. She set out with a goal to not just create a better baby formula, but to create a better conversation: one where moms could make the best choice for their families without guilt, without judgment, and with full confidence that their babies were getting the nutrition they needed. As a mom who struggled through the breastfeeding process, I’m personally thankful for Laura’s willingness to work to change the conversation and deliver quality, FDA-approved organic baby formula. Tune in to hear more about Laura’s decision to walk away from her career in tech, her experiences as a new mom that shaped her business, and how the pandemic impacted Bobbie - and how Laura responded.

Tori Dunlap: The Queen of Personal Finance
Today, the queen of personal finance, Tori Dunlap joins us to talk about her pivot from her corporate job to founding one of the most successful financial education platforms. She is the Founder and CEO of Her First 100K, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Financial Feminist, and host of her successful podcast also called Financial Feminist. But her pivot was driven by something we all experienced in 2016: the election of Donald Trump. It was then that she realized how much power and freedom money held, especially for women, as she achieved her own goal of saving $100k before turning 25. Now, she passes the critical financial tools she honed on to other women, empowering them to negotiate a raise, pay off debt, build wealth, and contribute to their local economies.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer: She Pivots Live from DC
This week, I am thrilled to share our very special LIVE episode with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer from our conversation at Sixth & I in Washington, D.C.

On this episode, Governor Whitmer reflects on her experience in the “sandwich generation,” taking care of her newborn and her mother, all while starting her political career in the Michigan legislature. (She even engages in some fun banter with one of her daughters who was in the audience!) She also shares some important wisdom from her book, True Gretch (now available in a young adult edition!), including the importance of being yourself.

Yvonne Wells: Quilting the Past, Teaching the Future
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.

Monica Padman: The Rise of the Armchair Expert Host
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.

She Pivots is back with our fourth season!
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.

Paula Neira: ‘I was always a woman’
When Paula Neira graduated with distinction from the U.S Naval Academy in 1985 and went on to serve in the Navy, she was faced with the difficult choice. As a transgender woman, Paula had to make the difficult choice to leave the Navy so she could live authentically. A difficult moment turned into an inspiring pivot when she decided to serve her country in another way - through nursing. She spent five years as a trauma ER nurse, but after feeling frustrated that she didn’t have a voice, she pivoted again. She decided to go to law school then used her law degree to fight for something deeply personal to her: the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (the archaic policy that barred openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service). Emily talks with Paula about how she leveraged her pivots and became a leading expert on transgender military service and health care.
