On our first episode of the year, we sit down with Mrs. Kashmere Brooks McCoy, my personal queen of the pivot. She shares her journey from military service and full-time hairstyling to becoming a second-grade teacher while emphasizing her philosophy of adapting to life's constant changes while maintaining authenticity in content creation and motherhood. We learn about her approach to pivoting careers by doing it with her whole, unedited self so she can leave without regrets, while documenting her journey publicly as both a memory archive and a way to inspire others.
