6: ...Is It Time for You to Pivot?! (ft. Deepica Mutyala)
Adios 2020 — we’re exploring the Art of the Pivot (because God LOLs at plans). Zuri gets personal and reveals the “idealized” career path she pivoted away from (you’ll never guess) — and the joy of checking your ego so life can carve an unexpectedly awesome thing out for you.
Z also goes one-on-one with Deepica Mutyala, CEO + founder of beauty brand, ‘Live Tinted’. Deepica opens about what it took to build her beauty brand; owning what made her different, instead of being ashamed of it; the life-changing moments that made her decide to pivot, and how she pulled the moves off.
From turning 30 (and gasp! not being married, with 3 kids — the horror!), to the trials of dating in a global pandemic, and Deepica gets vulnerable about her egg freezing journey. We're diving deep y’all! So make sure you stay ‘til the end for our exclusive Giveaway + this week’s ‘Party Trick’: 7 Signs You Are Ready For A Work-Life Pivot.
Let’s go! xx

Zuri's Favorite Quote:
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” ― Francis Scott Fitzgerald
