PIVOTWorks November 2025

Dear PIVOT Family,

If you’ve ever sat across from a coach, shared your truth at our table, or stepped into your Healthy Adult for the first time, then you know:
PIVOT changes lives.

I’m writing to you today with big news and a heartfelt invitation.

After years of transforming relationships and healing hearts through our coaching and retreats, PIVOT now has non-profit status. That means we can now accept donations, and with your help, reach so many more individuals, couples, and families who need support but can't always afford it.

Why This Matters

You know as well as I do: when someone is stuck in survival mode, repeating painful patterns, feeling unseen or unsafe in their relationships, it’s not because they don’t want to change. It’s often because they haven’t had the tools, the language, or the safe space to heal.

That’s what the PIVOT Process offers. It gives people a way out. And more importantly, a way forward.

But too often, the people who need this work most… can’t access it, because of financial hardship, overwhelm, isolation and belief that “help like this isn’t for people like me."

That’s where you come in.

Your support helps us reach those who are ready but unsure how to proceed. And when that connection is made, everything can shift.

With your help, we can bring the PIVOT Process to more:

• Survivors of trauma who feel stuck in old pain but crave a new chapter
  
• Couples on the brink of breakdown who need a new way to communicate
  
• Parents who want to stop passing down the pain they never had a chance to heal
  
• Young adults who feel anxious, lost, or unsure how to trust themselves
  
• And anyone struggling with mental and emotional pain, looking for clarity and self-compassion
  

This is about more than access to coaching. This is about hope and dignity. The moment someone realizes: I’m not broken. I can heal.

You can help give them that moment.

Your Gift Can Be the Turning Point

Whether it’s $10 or $100,000, every single donation counts.

Your generosity helps provide:

• Scholarships for PIVOT coaching & retreats
• Expansion of mental health resources
• Ongoing innovation in our tools & curriculum
• Access for individuals and families who otherwise couldn’t afford support
• Healing that ripples out through families, workplaces, and communities

Give today and help someone finally see that they are not broken. They just need the tools to heal.

DONATE NOW

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for doing your work.
Thank you for believing in ours.
And thank you for helping us take PIVOT to the people who need it most.

The holidays are coming. It’s a beautiful season, but for many, it’s also when old wounds resurface. Loneliness, family conflict, grief, pressure to “hold it all together”... it’s a lot. Hopefully if you are "Waiting for Christmas", it’s the healthy kind! (wink)

If this season feels heavier than joyful, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to move through it alone, either. Whether you're coming back for a coaching session or joining a retreat, we’re here for you. 

Hope to see you on our next Healthier Hour for Alumni on November 17th at 5:30pm PST.  Our topic is To Avoid or Not to Avoid …When pausing becomes power, not protection.

Avoidance is something most of us do – whether it’s sidestepping a tough conversation, delaying a decision, or pretending something doesn’t hurt when it actually does. But not everything that looks like avoidance is avoidance. I’m going to explore the difference between avoiding… and pausing. And why knowing that difference can shift everything.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take a moment to express something that lives close to my heart: gratitude for you, our alumni. Whether we’ve worked together personally or you’ve connected with one of our incredible coaches, your courage speaks volumes. The stories I hear about your honesty, your willingness to change, and your commitment to becoming your Healthy Adult deeply inspire us. You remind us why this work matters. You’re not just part of the Pivot community. You’re the reason it continues to grow, creating meaningful connections and repairing relationships worldwide! With love and gratitude,
