Switch, Pivot or Quit

301

One of the top business podcasts in a Google search. As your host who has been there and done that (P.S. my name is Ahyiana Angel) I'm providing an intimate look at navigating career transitions on your own terms.

This pod is for the person seeking encouragement, inspiration + change in a life filled with demands on who you should be. I'm here for you when you're asking yourself, "What's next?!"

I speak with experts, professionals, and day-to-day doers who have learned best practices through their journey with personal and professional development work.

My journey consists of having successfully switched careers from a sports entertainment publicist to a published author and now I run my own podcast production company (Mayzie Media), and give motivational talks! My goal is and will always be to provide helpful advice when you're deciding if you need to Switch, Pivot, or Quit®.

So good!!

Making a career transition-and having the guts to pursue your dreams in the middle of a pandemic is no small feat. Ahyiana helps you get real and used to be uncomfortable so you can live without regrets. This podcast sharpens me and keeps me from getting lazy when I'm losing my drive.

Amazing!

So insightful!

I like it but the ads tho ...

In the clubhouse episode, why are there 3 commercials in such a short episode? Less ads, more content.

Helpful for anyone making a career transition

This podcast is insightful and helpful for anyone looking to switch, pivot or quit. I appreciate how Ahyiana focuses not on quitting a 9 to 5 per se but starting a side gig, keeping your day job or adjusting your 9 to 5 to something you enjoy. I love listening and would love to hear from a brick and mortar therapist or service provider and someone in education in the upcoming season. Love this podcast and Ahyiana’s gift of guiding these conversations.

You’ll love this show!

I love Ahyiana’s emphasis on practical tactics for women making big, bold life decisions — I feel like I never got good practical guidance on that stuff! And the fact that she owns the name Chief Encourager makes me feel supported and encouraged right away. The conversations on this show about figuring out when it’s time to change things up (I love that she puts it in terms of a “plot twist”) are so important.

Love it!

Ahyiana has some great guests on the show. The conversations are: honest and real, engaging, and in-depth. This such an important platform. I really loved the episode with Amy Du Bois Barnett, she had some great advice and stories to share.

What a fantastic interviewer!

This podcast is an exciting, fun ride with thoughtful questions and really interesting content. Ahyiana is such a well-researched interviewer and so engaged and as a result, really takes the questions to the next level.
Shirley T Ansley

A definite must listen!

I really enjoy this podcast. Her storytelling is really gripping. Ahyiana approaches every topic with a relatable story that helps you to really walk away with an answer to a question that has been on your mind as a professional. You’re also going to love that she doesn’t just talk about what it’s like to run a business but what it’s like to feel empowered in your profession.🌟
Cynthia In SoCal

Highly recommended!

Ahyiana offers a variety of topics that will inspire you, and make you want to evaluate things happening in your personal and professional life so you can grow into who you want to be.

The podcast I didn’t know I needed

I love this podcast! The content is brilliant. Thank you for teaching me and coaching me on the things I didn’t know I needed to hear. Keep up the great work!
Danni's Pod

Absolutely Necessary!

The only thing I’m mad about is the fact that I am late here! I needed this podcast last year! That’s ok, I’m learning that I’m not alone. I’m learning to be accountable, responsible, to show tf up! I’m learning so much from this podcast! 5 stars just isn’t enough. There’s no bs given here, this woman knows what she’s talking about and I greatly appreciate her for sharing her gift with us!

Content Great, Ads No

I enjoy the content of this podcast. In fact I’ve learned a lot here. However, recently the ads have become unbearable. They pop up mid sentence. I stopped listening for awhile and tried it again today. The same as played twice before the two minute mark. The host didn’t even finish her introduction before the ad started again.
msisenther

Thank you sis!

This is a wonderful personal development podcast for me personally. I’ve gotten so much value from the guests as well as the episodes where you spit the game for us! Thank you for this Ahyiana💛

Ahyiana Angel brings out the best in her guests

I had the pleasure of taking off my lawyer hat to have a very candid and intimate conversation with one of my best girlfriends Ahyiana Angel podcast! Thank you Ang for using your platform to share my journey. I was able to share a glimpse into some of the events that have shaped my life, including witnessing the tragic death of my mother at a young age. Thank you for allowing me to control the narrative. Forever grateful! Hope you all enjoy.

I took the leap!

With the support of this podcast during my morning commute for the last three months I finally took the leap and left my full-time job. I learned through the interview that entrepreneurial-ship didn’t have to look one way. I am now leaving my job and working a contract job making double and half the time while I grow my business! The support of this podcast has been life-changing!!! Thank you so much for sharing your stories and I’m excited to continue listening as I switch and pivot!

Packed with real actionable info

Great podcast!! Ayanna is always spot on with the questions. She’s thorough and focused. Each guest leaves all their knowledge for our benefit. I miss 7 minute Sundays and hope she’ll bring it back in the fall.

Good Episode

I truly enjoyed this episode about not skipping the process. That’s real in just about every aspect in life.

Fearlessly Feminine

Ahyiana and her stellar guests shine the brightest of lights on what it means to be a female in business and life! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks for putting out such a superb show Ahyiana - keep up the great work!
Karlet R.

You read minds huh?

Omg, if I hear from one other person about my light, my light....you’re absolutely right. Let’s just go ahead and call a thing, a thing. These ppl are known as opportunists. They want to be apart of what they don’t even know. I appreciate this episode because it reminds me to be protective of my personal space, especially in a time such as this. Thanks for these jewels, per usual.

Gem of Encouragement

As an avid consumer of podcasts, I look for content that is informative and actionable and I also appreciate well-produced podcasts with good sound quality and relevant guests. I’ve listened to several episodes prior to writing this review and Ahyiana consistently delivers on all those key areas. She is both real and relatable. I consider her to be one of my personal coaches whether I’m listening the the podcast or picking her brain during a PMB session. I have recommended this podcast to others and will continue to watch for her new content on IG and on this podcast!

I really tried to like this.

I listened to a “7 Minute Sunday” (which was over 20 mins, btw). I don’t mind the longer length despite the misleading title if the content was strong but it was rambly and didn’t address the title. I thought it was just the one episode so I gave another episode a chance but nope. Same thing. Took over 15 minutes to even acknowledge the title and still didn’t answer the question or offer a solution.

Anointed!!!

Thank you so much for functioning in an real, relevant empowering sista space!!! You are a blessing to so many women seeking fulfillment outside of the boundaries of what we’re been told. I just recently found you and cannot stop listening!!! Thank you for bringing light and life. We are listening.
Meya T.

Quality at the source!

I am a recent listener and forever fan and follower. I have never been able to relate to someone more than I can relate to this podcast. The content. The details in the content are so extremely real and raw. I appreciate quality content and raw topics. As a newbie to the blog world, information can be very broad and people can be superficial. I LOVE this podcast!

Great Podcast

Listening to Switch Pivot or Quit will give you the inspiration to push through your day. Great content, great interview questions, consistently updated, and very informative. I love it! - @khabria_
@mela.anderson

Just like music

I really enjoy the positive messages in the type of conversations Ahyiana has with her guest. She really makes sure that her questioning covers all thoughts a listener might have. You may think some podcasts are too long to find the time to listen to but, just like music, I turn it on while doing silent activities, like cooking, taking a shower or going for a drive to the city. Each topic will offer you something to walk away with and put to practice toward your goals.
