In episode 219 (which was released August 2022) Rachel and Stephanie shared an episode called “Permission to Pivot”. In that episode they talked about permission to pivot with clients, within your business and permission to not have all the answers. This episode is an extension of that conversation, where they talk about how to know when it’s necessary to recalibrate things and share some tips on how to plan for these really important conversations.
