Navigating Unwanted Pivots in Necessary Seasons Pivots are moments in your life that are significant, challenging, or disruptive. You may have had a moment where you woke up one day and realized the past few years of your life hadn't been the best, and now you're ready to start doing things differently. There are other times when you feel things are going well and according to plan. And then suddenly, another season comes, with a different type of change, at a time you least expect. You may find yourself struggling because of this unwanted pivot or season, but how do you decide whether the path is God’s will? Join the conversation with Monet Carpenter as she shares with us about navigating unwanted pivots and necessary seasons in life, experiencing growth outside of the church community, and how to respond to God’s ideas that feel outside of our wheelhouse.Monet lives in Alabama with her best friend and husband, Josh. Together they’re raising two kiddos in a house full of lots of noise, crumbs, and many baskets of clean but unfolded laundry. Monet lives the messy, unspoken parts of life openly to encourage other women that they, too, can embrace wholeness despite their brokenness. In 2021, Monet launched Purposed Box, a monthly subscription box business inspiring women to live “purposed” lives right where they are. Each month, she provides experiential and practical gifts that help the “everyday” women encounter Jesus daily.
