Hi there,

Welcome to this week’s edition of Prompt & Pivot. If you’re new here, or just settling into your Tuesday scroll, I’m glad you’re taking a moment for yourself. Think of this as a little pocket of calm and curiosity to carry into the week.

Let’s get into it…

📖 This Week’s Read

Test-Driving Self-Employment (Before You Quit Your Job)

What if you could explore a different way of working—without blowing up your current life? This week’s blog post is for anyone who's been quietly wondering if self-employment might be a better fit, but isn’t ready to make the full leap (yet).

In it, I share a practical and low-pressure way to experiment—think of it like taking a test drive before deciding on the whole road trip. If you’ve been craving more freedom, more meaning, or just more you in your work, this one’s worth a read.

🌿 Something to Ponder

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start exploring.

There’s a middle ground between staying stuck and starting over. Often, it’s simply trying something small—an experiment, a side project, a service you offer to just one person.

So here’s a question to sit with:

If I gave myself permission to explore—without needing it to be perfect or permanent—what would I try first?

📓 This Week’s Journal Prompt

What small experiment could I run this week that nudges me toward something I’ve been curious about?

🌬️ Breathe + Be

This week, try a 30-second sense check. Wherever you are, pause and ask:

  1. What’s one sound I can hear?

  2. What’s one thing I can feel against my skin?

  3. What’s one scent in the air?

It’s a quick way to bring your mind back into the moment—and into your body—especially when the mental chatter gets loud.

💌 Until Next Time

If you’re already experimenting—or want help designing one that fits your skills and goals—I’d love to hear about it. Let’s talk through what’s working, what’s unclear, and what your next step could be. Book a free call and we’ll shape your next experiment together.

Warmly,

Albert
