When Everything Is Fine But Not Right: Choosing YOUR Pivot with C-Suite Leader Stacy Armijo

In this episode of Roots+Rebirth™, Terri R. Broussard sits down with one of her oldest Austin friends, Stacy Armijo, a senior banking executive who made a bold pivot after a 17 year career in marketing. This conversation centers on a feeling many people quietly carry. Everything looks fine. The career works. The life works. But something does not feel right.

Stacy shares how she navigated that internal disconnect, from leaving a long held identity to stepping into an entirely new industry, all while facing a life changing health diagnosis and redefining what fulfillment truly means. This episode is about clarity, courage, and choosing yourself even when there is no obvious reason to leave. 

What We Talk About: 

Stacy's journey from PR executive to banking leader What it feels like to leave a long held identity Why your real skill is not your title, it is your ability to learn Navigating a breast cancer diagnosis and reclaiming agency Making life decisions when everything is "fine" but not aligned How to think about family when making difficult decisions The difference between fear based decisions and faith led ones Why honoring your needs changes everything.

Key Takeaways:

You are not your title, you are the constant across every environment Clarity often comes slowly, not through one defining moment Hard decisions are not always about escaping something bad Choosing a new future does not mean your past was wrong If you do not honor your needs, they will surface anyway.
