We Don't Need Permission
Introducing Jennifer Larson, RSP Pivot Pillar Lead Let’s get one thing straight: pivots aren’t cute, curated, or conveniently timed.

How Rewriting My Story Changed Everything
Do you feel that vague urgency? That sense of life-imposed limitation? The feeling that it’s now or never, but you are stuck on where to start or how you even got here? Perhaps the stories you’ve been told, or those you’ve come to believe, now stand firmly in the way of who you need to become. Here’s what happened when I realized I have the power to write my own ending. Childhood memories. Teen angst. The struggles and freedoms of our 20s. The ways we still feel stuck.
