The Power of Calling an Audible

I used to think success meant sticking to the original plan.

Push through.

Finish what you started.

Keep going no matter what.

Don't get sidetracked.

But my recent road trip and life in general has reminded me of something important:

Sometimes the smartest move you can make is to call an audible.

➡️Redirect.

➡️Pivot.

Rigid plans rarely spark growth. Detours, pauses, and pivots are part of the journey - and learning to adapt is priceless.

My Audibles

Road trip: A few curveballs were thrown our way - my friend used my car and had an accident, Plano didn't pan out so we changed course, hotels weren't as nice as the pictures showed. None of those things ruined the trip. We adjusted and went to Plans B, C, & D! And at the end of the day, it was an amazing trip even with a few audibles thrown at us.

Life: Losing 2 amazing people within days of each other. Training my replacement. Finishing up my Pilates Reformer training. All while making a checklist for the upcoming move.

I keep moving forward. It may not be a straight path, but it's my path and it's ok that there are twists and turns along the way.

Because maybe the goal isn't to avoid detours.

Maybe the goal is learning to trust yourself to navigate through them.

Keep creating your ripple.
