#168 - Pivoting, People-Pleasing, and Low-Lift Marketing

With Michelle Pontvert

What happens when your “perfect” business starts feeling like a too-tight sweater you can’t breathe in anymore? In this episode, I catch up with my longtime biz bestie (and original podcast co-host!) Michelle Pontvert to talk through the often messy, magical, and mildly panic-inducing process of pivoting your business. We share the behind-the-scenes moments, including scrapping offers mid-launch, beta test drama, letting go of old products (RIP, forgotten templates), and how to trust yourself enough to go in a new direction.

Whether you’re deep in the pivot zone or wondering if your current path is actually the right fit, this one’s for you.


What We Cover:

  • How Michelle went from web design to event-hosting extraordinaire, and why her journey was anything but linear.

  • The surprising sign that it might be time to let go of an old offer… even if it’s still making sales.

  • What happened when I hit pause mid-beta launch (spoiler: nobody burned down the internet).

  • Why “niching down” isn’t the magic answer—but clarity is.

  • How to test your way into the right offer without spinning your wheels for another six months.

  • Why letting go of something doesn’t mean failure—and what it might actually open up instead.
