Welcome to The Purpose Pivot: Where Wellbeing Meets Ambition and Success Finds New Meaning

Welcome to The Purpose Pivot, a podcast that dares to challenge the culture of constant hustle by celebrating the transformative power of the pause. Hosted by author and speaker Melissa Gonzalez, and inspired by her newest book of the same name, the show redefines success as a mindful journey that prioritizes health, intuition, and resilience over relentless achievement.

Drawing on her own life-changing pause, Melissa invites dynamic leaders from across industries to share how moments of stillness became catalysts for growth. Listeners will hear candid conversations on the power of vulnerability, the role of intuition, the law of manifestation, and how to distinguish between stress that fuels and stress that depletes.

Each episode offers inspiring stories and practical tools to help audiences reflect, realign, and reprioritize—making more space for what energizes and less for what drains. The Purpose Pivot is an empowering guide for anyone ready to embrace their own pause and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
