Celebrating WTF* stories

*Women That Flourish™

Welcome to the Unscripted Pivots Podcast—where WTF stands for Women That Flourish™ (and now, Winners That Flourish too).
Hosted by Danielle Sprouls, each episode dives into real, raw stories of transformation—career pivots, personal comebacks, and the bold choices that change everything. Whether you're leading a team or leading your own comeback, this podcast meets you in the messy middle and pushes you toward your next breakthrough.

Life rarely goes as planned—so now what?

I planned to deliver babies as an obstetrician, then detoured into law, only to swap my briefcase for diaper bags and spend eight years as CEO of a tiny, chaotic startup (a.k.a. motherhood).

Itching to use my brain again, I walked straight into the deep end of title insurance. That “temporary” job? It turned into a 23-year career. None of it was planned, but every twist shaped who I am.

The biggest moments of growth come from the detours we never saw coming. That’s why I created Unscripted Pivots—a podcast that dives into the messy, unexpected, and wildly transformative moments that define us.

If you're facing a What now? moment, you’re not alone. Tune in, get inspired, and embrace the pivot.

If you’re looking to connect with stories of resilience, transformation, and personal growth, you’ve found the right podcast.

Unscripted Pivots (UP) takes a deep dive into how women can masterfully chart their lives only to end up in the most unexpected places. "Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans” and the most unpredictable detours, our “WTF” experiences, can shape us in ways we never dreamed possible.

My podcast invites women to redefine “WTF”, calling them “Women That Flourish” moments instead.

Dive into stories of women empowering women, overcoming identity loss, entrepreneurship, leadership, mental health, and more. We’re here to celebrate your adaptability, resilience, and perseverance.
