S2 Ep65: How to Know When It’s Time to Leave, Pivot, or Start the Thing You Can’t Stop Thinking About
Have you been feeling that quiet pull to do something different with your life… but you can’t tell if it’s the right time?
Are you wondering if your idea, your brand, or your next chapter is actually worth the leap?
In this episode, Syd sits down with one of her real-life mentors, Amber McMillan - mom of two, longtime corporate leader, and now co-founder & CEO of a fast-growing aesthetics brand, CLEO Skin + Laser, to talk honestly about what it really looks like to walk away from a stable career and build something of your own.
Amber spent 20+ years in health, fitness, and wellness before making the jump into entrepreneurship and opening multiple locations in the clinical skincare space. Together, Syd and Amber unpack how you know it’s time to go, what makes a brand worth your time and energy, and how to build something that actually delivers results—not just a pretty logo.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The signs it’s time to leave, pivot, or finally start the thing you can’t stop thinking about
How to tell the difference between a “cute idea” and a real opportunity
What makes a brand truly work (and why most businesses never get there)
How Amber went from corporate SVP to multi-location founder without sacrificing her family or sanity
Why evidence-based results matter more than hype in beauty, wellness, and skincare
What founders really mean when they talk about “hustle” (and how to do it without burning out)
How to think about wealth, work, and your next chapter in a way that actually feels aligned
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to trust yourself, bet on your vision, and build a life that feels rich in every way… consider this your nudge.
