Most of us are carrying a plan we have not started. On October 13, a room of people put theirs on the calendar in ninety minutes.

The next evening is on Tuesday, November 24, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at Indy Hall in Northern Liberties. There are 20 seats for moms and professionals who want to walk into the holidays with their next move already planned.

I usually take a solo vacation for my birthday, but this year will be different. I’m spending it with you in Indy Hall. Will still take a solo vacation, just not 11/24. 😀

Comment PIVOT if you’re joining us.

Happy tears found me today, so I had to share what is on my heart. Look for the helpers, and help your helpers. They carry so much love for you, more than you may realize.

My energy is reserved for the moments Jesus and my angels want me to focus on. I keep asking them for guidance because my stubborn mindset can get me into trouble sometimes. I’m praying for only good trouble these days. 😊

I hosted Pivot on a Tuesday the other week. The evening was imperfectly perfect, and that is how life is supposed to go. I am celebrating what went well, working on what can grow, and feeling excited for what comes next.

This season brought me wonderful connections. I put in the work, and the right people showed up. I always ask to be matched with people who are meant to pour good into my life, and I am still pleasantly surprised by who arrives.

To my helpers this week, you made my day lighter and my heart bigger. Thank you, Dante and Maria . 🪄

The next Pivot on a Tuesday is a birthday edition, and you are in for a great surprise. Comment NEXT and I will send you the details first. ❤️

Before catching a flight, giving you a heads up. You spoke. We listened, then we made our own pivot. Pivot on a Tuesday has new tiers, and the details are in the event invite. We meet October 13 at Cuor di Caffè in Center City. See you there!

A few words for you + speaking to my future self. She is thanking me for starting when I started.

She is somewhere I could not have pictured from here. The only reason she got there is that I moved while I was still excited, still scared, and still tired from the extra energy it takes.

I am celebrating anyway. The details are hidden from me, and I trust there is a good surprise in there somewhere.

Did you move today? What is your next move? Let’s hear it. 📣

You still need six more permissions for the chapter you did not choose.

A layoff takes your job and it also takes the shape of your week. It takes the version of you who had a clean answer ready when someone asked what do you do. That loss is real and deserves room.

Most of these permissions are ones you would hand a friend in a second. You are allowed to keep one for yourself.

You read it, you feel understood for a minute, and then you go back to performing for whoever is watching.

Pick one permission, the one you are least willing to give yourself, and keep it for a week.

Which one are you gifting to yourself?

Save this for the hard days and send it to someone who is between chapters.

You researched your next chapter for a year and moved zero inches.

You bought the books and created a saved folder of podcasts named something hopeful. You have a list of questions you keep refining month after month. Every night you tell yourself you are getting closer, and every morning you wake up in the same place.

More reading has not moved you, and more of it won’t help. What moves you is small, real, and a little scary. One honest step teaches you more in an afternoon than a month of thinking does.

Take that step and your own life starts handing you evidence. You begin to trust it and the fog lifts because you are finally moving through it.

Book a Discovery Consult where we design that first step together and keep it low risk.

You made the decision at 2am more times than you can count.

You know exactly what you want to walk away from. You know what you have been pretending to enjoy. You dream of relief before you have moved a single thing in your actual life.

Then the sun comes up. You make breakfast, you open your laptop, you answer the first message of the day, and somewhere in there the reasons to stay rearrange themselves into a shape you can live with for one more quarter.

Your honesty at 2am was real. It simply had nowhere to land once you were being practical again.

Building your landing place is where we work. Pivot On Demand is where we do it together, with on-demand content you move through at your own pace, a guided Personal Pivot plan, small group coaching, and two sessions with me.

Your 2am self already knows. Book when you are ready to give that version of you somewhere to go.
