Career Pivoting with Molly Asplin: The Power of Community in Your Career Journey
53 \\ Career Pivoting and New Year Intentions with Molly Asplin from the Dream It Do It Podcast
Health and fitness routines for busy moms
Life as a mom is busy—whether you're balancing a corporate job, running your own business, or staying home with the kids. Prioritizing health and fitness often feels like just another item on an impossibly long to-do list. But as Molly, founder of the Dream It, Do It Wellness community, reminds us: it’s not about perfection; it’s about consistency and seeing every step as progress.
Molly’s journey from corporate finance to health and fitness coaching, and now to life and career coaching, shows the importance of adaptability and self-care. Here are her tips for balancing motherhood and fitness:
Make workouts an investment, not a chore. Carving out 20-30 minutes for movement isn’t just for your body—it boosts productivity, energy, and mood.
Find joy in movement. Whether it's a quick walk or a dance session, make it fun and manageable.
Plan ahead. Just as you plan your week for work or family, plan your wellness routine. Preparation turns intentions into actions.
The power in the pivot
Life is full of twists and turns, and Molly is no stranger to the pivot. After years of success as a Beachbody leader, she’s embraced a bold new chapter by launching her own Dream It, Do It Wellness community. Her story is a reminder that personal growth often requires change—even when it feels risky.
Molly shared that Being Better Every Day is about constant evolution:
“You’re growing, evolving, and peeling back the layers to figure out who you truly are. I look at myself today and feel like I’m living more in alignment than ever before.””
This perspective can be empowering for moms juggling multiple roles. Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to take a leap when the moment feels right. Change isn’t just inevitable; it’s necessary for growth.

Business planning for the new year
As the year winds down, it’s natural to start reflecting on goals and planning for the future. Whether you're dreaming up new business ventures, refining your side hustle, or simply looking for ways to bring more balance into your life, intentional planning is key.
Molly recommends:
Start with a brain dump. Write down everything you’d like to achieve—big or small.
Prioritize your list. Focus on what’s most important and realistic for the coming months.
Break it down. Turn large goals into smaller, actionable steps.
Stay flexible. Life happens, and plans may shift. That’s okay.

Setting new year intentions
The new year is a perfect time to set fresh intentions. But instead of overwhelming yourself with a long list of resolutions, Molly suggests focusing on just a few meaningful areas to improve.
For example:
Health: Commit to moving your body consistently, even if it’s just 10 minutes a day.
Personal Growth: Read one book a month or dedicate time to a new hobby.
Connection: Build deeper relationships with family, friends, or a supportive community like Dream It, Do It Wellness.
When you focus on small, consistent actions, they add up to significant progress over time.
The power of community with the Dream It Do It Wellness Community
One of the recurring themes in Molly’s story is the importance of community. Whether you’re working on your health, career, or personal growth, surrounding yourself with people who understand your journey can make all the difference.
Molly’s Dream It, Do It Wellness community is an excellent example of this. It’s a space where women come together to:
Share successes and struggles.
Offer accountability and motivation.
Learn from each other’s experiences.
As moms, we often prioritize everyone else’s needs above our own. But being part of a supportive group can remind you that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
Finding alignment in the chaos
As moms, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of our own needs and goals. Molly’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s possible to thrive amid the chaos. By prioritizing health, embracing change, and leaning on a supportive community, you can create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.
So as you head into the new year, ask yourself:
What does Being Better Every Day look like for me?
Where can I make small, meaningful changes?
How can I build routines and systems that support my goals?
Remember, progress is better than perfection. Whether you’re taking your first steps toward a healthier lifestyle or making a bold career pivot, every effort matters. And with the right mindset and support, you can create a life that reflects your true priorities and passions.
