Unscripted Pivots: Inspiring Stories from WTF [Women That Flourish]

If you’re seeking connection and inspiration through life’s twists and turns, welcome to Unscripted Pivots (UP). Hosted by Danielle Sprouls, aka the WTF Lady, this podcast redefines “WTF” moments as Women That Flourish, Wake That Flame, or Work Toward Fulfillment. These are the powerful, life-changing detours that shape us in ways we never imagined.

In every episode, I share inspiring stories of resilience, reinvention, and empowerment. From identity shifts and entrepreneurship to leadership and mental health, we explore the adaptability and perseverance that fuel success and growth.

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a celebration of how unexpected pivots can lead us to flourish, rise, and always Rise UP.
