Testimonials

As a guy, I struggled, going from one unfulfilling relationship to another. For years I was certain that I was just with the “wrong” woman. Meanwhile I’m raising a teenage daughter trying to model and teach her what it means to be in a real relationship.

As the years passed I could feel deep inside me the desire to be in a real relationship where, as a man, I could open up fully and find strength AND vulnerability. Alas, I didn’t know how.

I tried numerous approaches to get to what the issue was and never found one that would engage both my head AND my heart. I started Lori Jean’s PIVOT process with equal amounts of skepticism and desperation.

Working with my advocate, I fully threw myself into the work when I saw, early into it, that it was MY patterns that were blocking me. When I took responsibility for it and started the work all of my relationships started to change. PIVOT describes things in simple, understandable terms that allow a clear path from my head (thoughts) to my heart (feelings) to my feet (actions).

I’m a great example as a guy to show that if it can work for me, it can work for anyone, as long as we do the work. I wholeheartedly recommend LJ and PIVOT if you are ready to rocket to a new level of relating in your life.

For the very first time in my life I actually like me. The intense and lonely pain of my childhood is replaced by the healthy adult…for the first time in my life, I have a voice!

It was a life changing event and I’m so grateful I dug deep to find the courage to change my life! Thank you Lori Jean for this incredible experience.

The PIVOT curriculum and coaches have wholeheartedly saved my life. When I started my coaching sessions my life was in shambles and I was starting over.

Because of this curriculum I have been able to successfully live my life as a healthy adult. The tools this program has given me have helped me grow personally, professionally, and spiritually over the past year. The investment I have made in myself through PIVOT is invaluable and the best choice I could have made for myself.

Prior to working with my coach at PIVOT, I only knew a life of emotional turmoil. I had low emotional intelligence due to previous experiences of unhealthy relational patterns. I knew a life that consisted of triggers and impulses, which resulted in acting out in ways that were destroying me in all aspects of my life.

The curriculum taught me how to understand these patterns and show up in my life as a healthy adult. Through our weekly phone coaching sessions, the model presented to me gave me the incentive to continue to grow and learn ways to love myself through self-care.

I learned ways to set boundaries with individuals in my life in order to avoid losing myself at the expense of pleasing others. I now can say that I am able to show up and relate healthy in not only my personal life but also professional life.

I am now able to discern healthy vs. unhealthy. I can honestly say that this was the first experience that has enabled me to feel empowered.

As someone that grew up around all the ‘woo’ in LA, it takes a lot to convince me of programs, therapies and self-work that is truly productive and healing. I’ve tried all the dbts, cbts, trauma therapy, traditional talk therapy etc., and none felt like they were doing anything except forcing me to slowly rehash issues I already knew. The PIVOT program is completely different because it meets you where you are and gives you proactive steps towards adjusting your current habits and helping you find healthier patterns for your coping and attachment patterns. My advocate has been unbelievable with a penchant for getting to the real crux of the issue from the get-go. She is non-judging, supportive and intuitive, yet calls you out on the things you need calling out on. She gives you tools and resources to do things yourself with the knowledge that she is there should you need her. She helped me reach a place in 8 months that I couldn’t reach in over a decade of other therapies. I have sent a handful of friends to her and PIVOT and everyone feels the same life game changer and I have my advocate to thank for that. When you’re truly ready to take an honest look at yourself and put in the work this is the best and most underrated program around, I can’t say enough good things about it and my advocate.

I had hit rock bottom in my life. Sifting through the devastation of ANOTHER failed relationship I was introduced to my advocate through a mutual friend. When she mentioned “relationship coach” I cringed and said no way, the last thing I need is another failed relationship! My friend assured me that this coaching was about how to find a healthy connection when the time was right and work on my self and my unhealthy pattern in the mean time. My advocate came highly recommended by a trusted friend and after speaking with her for the initial consultation I felt confident that she understood me and could offer help. My advocate was so supportive and compassionate! She helped me be kinder to myself and recognize unhealthy relational patterns that were really destructive, but most importantly she honored my process and met me where I was in my healing. I never felt pressure to get better faster. This patience and compassion was just what I needed. My advocate never gave up on me, even when I gave up on myself.
The most transformative part of PIVOT for me was the boundaries I was able to set and the respect I now have for myself. The program works! I’m not ready to date yet, but I feel confident that when I am I will have the discernment to protect myself, and honor myself. I would absolutely recommend this program and my advocate to anyone looking for positive change. My advocate changed my life, she is an angel. I couldn’t have done this work without her! She is one of the most kind, compassionate and loving humans I know. I will be forever grateful for her wisdom and support.

I found PIVOT at a time in my life when I wasn’t sure I was ever going to be able to trust myself to date again. After a messy divorce and a crash and burned relationship, I was scared that maybe I was destined for crazy relationships. My PIVOT coach stepped in and helped me build my sense of self. I started PIVOT because I wanted to know what a healthy relationship was, but what I have gotten is something so much better: I trust myself. I have learned, through the targeted curriculum and sharp insight and unwavering support of my Advocate, that I can trust myself. I am standing in my power as a whole human being for the first time in my life. In just 3 months, PIVOT completely rearranged my self esteem and my understanding of my relationships. Out of that space, I know that I will never go back to the craziness and that I am secure enough to live my life with dignity and self-respect. Thank you PIVOT!

PIVOT is a Godsend and there aren’t enough words to can convey how grateful I am to have found their program and also to be working with my amazing coach, Rose. Prior to working the program, I had been in various 12-step programs which was/is helpful, and seeing a therapist, too. However, it’s only until I started working PIVOT did I see an immense change in my emotions, behavior, and the ability to identify why my I’m being activated and where it is coming from. Like any self-help, it takes a lot of courage, willingness and patience to be able to look at yourself and want to change, but it is so worth it. I would not have been able to get to where I am emotionally today without Rose’s guidance and the wonderful modules provided. Rose is understanding, helpful, non-judgmental and offers levity to boot which is necessary when you’ve hit bottom. I encourage anyone to try this program if you are willing to dare greatly. You won’t regret it

I have been working at PIVOT on and off for about 2.5 years. PIVOT really has given me the tools and the support I am not able to just get from therapy. I have gained tools for how to take care of myself, relate to things in my life and discover patterns that are holding me back in my life. I recently was at stuck point going to several therapist, support groups and not knowing what was best for me. I did a personalized PIVOT and realized the pattern that was causing me to feel stuck and came up with a plan on how to PIVOT out of it and jump start my new self care schedule. It has been an adjustment but I am SO thankful for PIVOT. I’m now gaining the tools that I need to be able to practically take care of myself, to become emotionally stable, and do life as an adult in conjunction with therapy rather than being dependent on professionals, and that is what recovery looks like for me.

Where do I begin to share how much the PIVOT process has improved my life? It all started after I had just broken off an engagement and complained to my friend that I always seem to date the wrong people. She then told me about her dating coach and an upcoming workshop with PIVOT- the Whole Perspective. I signed up as it was very reasonable for the 4 hours – after all, what did I have to lose?

That was one of the best decisions I have ever made! After the workshop I saw how this could work to help me. We started with the dating module and when I realized how much it was helping me I continued on through more modules. Once my family (my parents) saw the difference in me, they asked about working with an advocate too. We are improving our family dynamic every week.

My friends have all made comments about how happy I seem, asking me what have I done or whom have I met – I am so proud to say it is because of me. A recent compliment from a friend: “You seem so confident, together and beautiful. You deserve happiness and peace. And laughter!” and the amazing thing is I believe that too. Even a first date I had a few months ago told me I was quite intimidating being so confident and attractive. It is coming from the inside because of my PIVOT work – something I never heard previously.

I have tried other self help books and plans but to no avail. PIVOT is about being proactive and giving you the tools to change your life for the better. Tired of trying and nothing changing? Then do something and try PIVOT- make a difference!

Ever Grateful,

Deb has been an invaluable resource along my path towards greater health in all of my relationships. Her steady presence, deep listening and clear eyed ability to recognize my relational patterns helped me to see and change things I had been unconsciously doing for years. Her guidance through the PIVOT modules was incredibly thorough, and I feel that the ways she taught me to use my Healthy Adult Alignment worksheet have forever changed for the better how I relate to others. I found Deb’s guidance to be unfailingly compassionate and warm, yet also strong and clear. Thank you Deb!

When I first discovered the PIVOT program, my life had become completely unmanageable. I couldn’t understand why I kept making the same mistakes, and following the same unhealthy life patterns. Rosemary at PIVOT has really helped me turn my life around, and take the steps to understand myself on a deeper level and become the person I want to be. I’m so grateful for this wonderfully supportive program and for having found a PIVOT coach who has been able to help me grow so much in such a short span of time.

I joined an Alumni Coaching group during the first weeks of the Covid-19 shelter-in-place orders. Being a part of this group gave me something valuable to look forward to twice a week and also helped me stay focused on my growth. It was great to connect with other people who have had similar experiences as I had and it really helped me see things from new vantage points, as well. I would absolutely recommend this program.

A year after starting my PIVOT work my weight has dropped from 204 to 160. My cholesterol dropped from 225 and now is 135. My blood pressure was 138/96 and now 94/68. WOW!
My PIVOT coach, Cindy, was there with me every step of the way helping. While it wasn’t what brought me to PIVOT, losing weight was one of the goals I’d had for 15 years but was never able to accomplish. Certainly I could not accomplish it rapidly, easily, and alongside all the other drama going on…. HOWEVER the huge amount of understanding, applicable to all areas of my complicated life that came with the PIVOT program made all the difference in my weight loss journey! The improvements on the “inside” definitely helped me make better decisions and take better care of my “outside”!
I didn’t have to follow the same patterns, make the same choices I’d made in the past. All the valuable lessons learned with Cindy “clicked” and my life truly did PIVOT around entirely!

After a decade of psychotherapy, PIVOT felt like the practicum to years of academic research. With the help of my therapist, I was fortunate to have already acquired a number of tools when I first took part in a day-long PIVOT intensive. PIVOT’s organized curriculum, iconic imagery and relational focus laid out a clear path for me to implement both the skills I had been developing in talk therapy and the Healthy Adult Alignment tools I’d been acquiring from the PIVOT program.
But the opportunity to work with a coach on a regular basis, I believe, is what really made the experience transformative. Deb’s insightful, direct, intelligent and supportive approach to relational alignment kept me accountable, engaged and encouraged–especially during those occasional, yet unavoidable, challenging moments. Her positive energy and can-do attitude in her own life inspired faith in mine; and her honest feedback–while sometimes difficult to hear–created a foundation of trust on which to build our work together. Deb’s thoughtful and caring advocacy (along with the PIVOT curriculum) guided me in responsibly exercising that trust muscle in my other relationships; enhanced my recognition of my own self-worth; and deepened my confidence in my ability to make healthy choices. After a year of working together, I understood the feeling of having someone in my corner, cheering me on, believing in me, and caring about my life and my wellbeing. I feel a mountain of gratitude to both Lori Jean Glass, for carving out this effective program and the curriculum on which it is based; and to Deb Reid for walking beside me on the journey.

I started working with Lori Jean a couple years ago with the intention to help heal and repair my family system. After only a few sessions, I started to truly believe that the Pivot process could help me live life more peacefully no matter the circumstances I was faced with. I absolutely love that the Pivot Process is mobile and that I can connect with Lori Jean from all over the world as I am traveling. The truth is Lori Jean has used her years of studying clinically tested concepts to figure out exactly what real life tools that people need by creating the Pivot Process.

During my experience, I felt true healing, while embracing the “unlearning” of my conditioning from childhood. The modules that Lori Jean taught, gave me the tools that I am now able to use in real life situations to ‘PIVOT’ to healthy place mentally. My pivot process still continues to be a life changing journey with each session and I am beyond happy that I have connected with Lori Jean.

I think one of the easiest ways for me to say what Pivot means to me is to explain what life was like without Pivot. Too much of the same old fights and not understanding each other as a couple (Read: resentments, bitterness, hurt, lack of connection, sense of being incomplete) Feeling hopeless in my primary relationships. Feeling misunderstood and unseen by those around me. Lack of my own self-understanding as to why I feel the way I do sometimes and what to do about it to help change it. Pivot resolved (read: changed for the good) ALL of that. Now my partner and I have a much deeper connection, high trust and commitment, more openness and shared dreams. Before we lived as “Semi’s” (Without even knowing it) and now we have steadily experienced being a “Good” for each other and with a little wine, etc. we have even experienced the rare and magical event of truly being one another’s “Inner.” Less fights, more laughs. Less fear, more joy. As for parenting I have far less need to over-step in my kids’ lives and instead just show up and enjoy their presence in my life. If they need me to put on my Wise Elder hat and help them through something, I am happy to do that but am just about as happy not to do that, too. This is a HUGE change for me. I used to worry incessantly about them and over-involve myself in their worlds.

Just completed my first 6wk group tribe session with Jenn. Going into the first wk, I really didn’t know what to expect. I’m normally a very “in-person” kind of person but within the first session, you almost forget that you’re on Zoom. I really enjoyed the connections that were formed in the group and the stories we all shared. I Feel as though the Pivot tribe provided me the opening I needed to start working on the areas of my life I’ve been putting off or feeling stuck in.

PIVOT Group was something I really benefited from the last 6 weeks. It was truly something I looked forward to each week. Our tribe really made a close bond in the short amount of time. I enjoyed working on looking at myself from the whole perspective and digging deeper into my survival patterns. Coach Jenn was so punctual, relatable, understanding and overall an amazing leader. I would recommend this group to others who are looking to become more in tune with relational alignment and boundaries. Investing in myself and finding a coach I can continue to meet with was an amazing gift this holiday season.

During the spring of 2020 I was fortunate enough to come across a livestream on Instagram with Brittney Kelly and Lori Jean Glass discussing the Pivot program. After listening to the conversation around the pivot process and reflecting on my personal struggles, I took the opportunity to discuss the process in depth with my coach, Deb Reid. While I knew this process would be incredibly difficult as I would be revisiting past trauma and issues, this journey would provide me with a strong foundation to become the best version of myself. The thing that makes the pivot process so special is the honesty, the intentional curriculum, and commitment to partner with you to reach your goals, based on your own standards. Over this past 10 months Deb has provided me with not only an incredible amount of support, but the honesty she has expressed while working this program was key in helping me achieve my goals. The amount of knowledge I have gained not only as tools, but just basic knowledge about who I am has allowed me to transition into a life where I have reached the level of confidence and individualism I knew I had the potential to reach all along.

PIVOT Tribe gave me the tools to better myself and the relationships I have. Before starting this process my choice of handling situations was not always the best and I would tend to shut down in uncomfortable situations. During this process, I have learned so much about myself and the reasons I react the way I do. I am so grateful for getting the opportunity to take the pivot process through the tribe Kelly scholarship and look forward to continue to grow and be a #healthyadult.

I initially was exposed to the Pivot Process through a Pivot Tribe and after completing that I knew I wanted to dive deeper with Deb. The Pivot Process and it’s relational alignment has allowed me to gain tremendous clarity in my daily life and the ways in which I relate to and interact with others. Before starting the PIVOT Process, I felt constantly “stuck”. I am now easily able to identify moments I am acting from my inner child or teenager, and thanks to the Pivot Process I have the tools to realign with my healthy adult. It’s a daily journey but I no longer feel like the victim to outside circumstances. I am empowered to be the creator of my relationships and show up as my very best self.

Deb helped me dig deep and get to the root of certain issues. Challenges that I was having that seemed irrelevant to each other, she was able to connect and help me understand where that stemmed from. Throughout the process, I got crystal clear on what I have to offer AND what I want in a romantic partner. My non-negotiables are at the very forefront as I move forward. Deb is extremely understanding, insightful and non-judgmental. She has a wealth of knowledge that gave me so much insight into my life. I SO look forward to our hour together every week. When I hear those I love struggling, I wish I could just give them a Deb and the Pivot Process!! If you have the opportunity to join PIVOT, go for it!!

I have completed my Pivot coaching with my exceptional and accessible coach, Deb Reid. I have participated in coaching before and Pivot has made a profound behavioral impact on me and my interactions with others. Identifying my survival patterns gave me new ways of self healing. Walking through my circle boundaries was a game changer and has already impacted my current relationships. Thank you to Pivot and Deb’s gentle lead unveiling these powerful tools I can use on a daily basis to improve myself and those around me.

The only regret I have about joining the Pivot Process is that I didn’t do it A LOT sooner! I participated in “talk therapy” for years however, I was repeating the same cycles of emotions and behaviors that ultimately were ruining my relationships. Pivot has allowed me to find not only identify the root causes for my behaviors but healthier solutions. I’m so thankful to have been introduced to my Pivot coach, London, who has guided me through significant changes that have resulted in not only feeling the happiest I have been in my life, but also improving my relationships with others close to me.

Clarity has surfaced all around my life with Deb’s coaching guidance in the Pivot Process. I chose to add the kind of support to my life that has gifted me balance, thoughtful consideration with each choice I make, and a healthy perspective to how I think about each situation standing before me. Deb listens effortlessly, and in doing so, clarity is showing up for me in every direction. The doors are all opening and now I will have to choose which ones to walk through instead of where to find the door. The Pivot Process created a way of viewing self and life in such a way that became simple to tackle, rather than impossible to sit with.

While I came here to better my relationships with my children, everything I learned is helping me with all my relationships from business colleagues to other immediate family members to the people in my social circle. Through it all, I am developing a better relationship with myself.

Finding Pivot and being mentored by my Pivot coach, London, was life changing for me. Quite frankly it helped me find myself again and because of that my marriage transformed into what I always hoped and knew it could be. The Pivot program equipped me with a plan of action and tangible resources to navigate the ebb and flow of life in a healthy way. For me, Pivot was the biggest exhale after holding my breathe for too long. It also led me to my new life motto: “Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.” And now that’s exactly what I plan on doing.

I contacted PIVOT because I was clinging to a relationship from my childhood, going around the same mountain over and over, causing much emotional pain, and I knew I needed healing and help. My decisions were from fear of being rejected.

I reached out to PIVOT for phone sessions, as I could not travel to California. Deb not only helped me with the relationship that caused me to seek help, (who is now a NO contact), but all my relationships. Using the relationship boundaries, I began to communicate efficiently with family and friends and not over sharing or avoiding them.

I felt heard and seen by Deb and my confusion turned into order with each session.
She helped me to overcome feelings of jealousy and guilt that I had been working on for many, many years to overcome. Deb made space for me to do the work. She helped me grieve the passing of my sister this year, and having someone to share this experience with was sacred.

She taught me it is ok to be honest and speak the truth. And it is healthy to put my relationships in whatever boundary is SAFE for me. 💗💗💗

The one thing I will always remember is “the one you betray is yourself.” I have learned to forgive myself.

The weekly coaching after the intensive was integral in helping me understand the PIVOT process at a deeper level and put it to work in my life. Deb understood my particular family situation very well. She was direct without being overbearing, kind and compassionate in her approach and very knowledgeable about all parts of the PIVOT process. She was available when I needed extra support and knew when to help me see that I was ready to continue the PIVOT steps on my own. I am so appreciative of her kind help and expertise; I continue to use the tools I learned through PIVOT daily.

I am so grateful to PIVOT and what it’s brought to my life- perspective, clarity, a road to peace. I came to PIVOT lost, confused about myself, my relationship, and my family. I wanted to blow up my life and didn’t know where to go from there. Pausing and learning how to take stalk of myself has given me invaluable skills I will carry with me the rest of my life; incredible tools to be a more grounded, peaceful, clear-headed person. I feel much more empowered to move through the challenges of being a human being in a modern and chaotic world. My coach, Jean, was matched specifically to me, and she guided me through this beautiful, thoughtful, individualized program with incredible compassion, intelligence, and clarity. I’m so thankful, and have recommended PIVOT to anyone who will listen- you won’t regret it!

I realized I had a challenge in my life with how I navigated (and did NOT navigate) relationships, with family and friends. I reached out to a friend about it and he recommended PIVOT. My experience with PIVOT and my advocate has been breathtaking, life changing and one of the TOP BEST choices I have EVER made in my life. I am 62 years old and the #1 best thing I ever did was marry my husband. Following close behind that is having my children, completing college and a Masters in my 40’s AND signing UP FOR PIVOT!! I did not even realize how much internal anxiety I was carrying from my bad habits with navigating relationships. Then PIVOT happened. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER – SO much stronger – SO much more confident. NOW I am MUCH quicker to recognize when I am going down the path of OLD THINKING and going off in my mind which kept me anxious, fearful, and unhealthy – physically – mentally and emotionally. I NOW can literally catch myself doing it and STOP and within moments. I feel SO alive and SO FREE!! Why can I do this?! – because PIVOT literally ALLOWS YOU to learn for yourself WHY you were making the choices you were making and then walks you through how to make unhealthy choices become HEALTHY ones!!

Thank YOU PIVOT and thank YOU to my PIVOT advocate – she has been amazing, and I feel SO much gratitude we were paired together.

I’ve started to notice how my PIVOT work evolves with me. It’s helping me with more than healing from past trauma. Recently, this process has pushed me to get clear on who I want to be and the kind of life I want to have. Stay stuck or break free. My coach is helping me build the life I want and practice being the person I want to be.

What I have gained most from PIVOT is pure awareness. Before I was floating along. Now I have more awareness of what I am doing in situations, why am I saying the things I say and why I am acting the way I am acting. My coach Kayla has helped me understand where I came from. I am now able to recognize the ways I used to manipulate conversations and now shift into what goal am I trying to reach instead. I am better able to describe how I’m feeling and what I want. The awareness has helped me be more selective and strategic in my language.

I can also hold onto myself in hard moments. I am able to remind myself that others have their storyline and history, so I can offer patience and understanding to why they are responding the way they are.

I’m so overwhelmed with emotion right now and the best kinds of it. It’s the first time I’ve felt hopeful on all fronts in a long, long time. My family can’t believe how much progress has been made and that was really wonderful to see and hear AND things are going better than expected in my marriage. I’m also slowly getting the house back under control after basically a year and a half of complete neglect. Still lots of work to be done in life, but I just wanted to say I couldn’t have gotten to this point without my coach. ❤️ I’m more thankful for her and PIVOT and what it has brought into my life than I can even put into words! Thank you.

I was introduced to PIVOT, and my coach Gaby, by a mutual friend in July of 2020 at the height of the pandemic. I had expressed some interest in Equine work – something that Gaby specializes in (highly recommend), and from that, was introduced to PIVOT. After doing a 3 day intensive workshop at the glass house, I immediately recognized the power of PIVOT and was inspired to continue regular weekly Zoom sessions with Gaby. At age 45, I had never heard of something called “childhood trauma”, nor did I realize I was suffering from so much of it. Through the PIVOT curriculum, and more importantly, Gaby’s direction, I was able to successfully navigate through arguably the darkest time in my life. Almost 3 years later, I continue regular sessions with Gaby, and have been living a life full of joy and happiness that I never thought was possible. Gaby has been instrumental in helping me to develop new techniques and repairs to avoid and mitigate damage in life situations, to help keep me organized, to live a healthier lifestyle, and most notably, in communicating with the world – AND MYSELF, in an uplifting and positive way! I feel like I’m breathing a new kind of oxygen, speaking a whole new language, and living the most balanced life I’ve ever experienced, thanks to Gaby and the PIVOT curriculum.

Pivot has given me more hope for my future than I’ve had in over a decade. I was feeling completely stuck in so many areas of my life that it was impossible for me to engage with anything in a meaningful way. I spent my days numbing and dissociating to avoid reality, and healing felt like a daunting hurdle until I began working with my coach, Jean. Jean consistently pointed out patterns in my mindset and behaviors, which gave me so much confidence and courage that I could heal my past wounds, and start living the life I knew I deserved. I’m forever grateful to Pivot & Jean for helping me learn to approach myself with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment and frustration. I have never been more motivated to take care of myself and have made amazing progress in my healing journey by practicing with the tools and curriculum Pivot has taught me.

Kara was such a godsend while I was in the early stages of my divorce process. Her non-judgmental approach and her ability to add context to my experiences through the use of the PIVOT process was extremely helpful. Much of what I learned from Kara in those very difficult moments of being “thrown into withdrawal” was what I reflected on as I continued the healing process long after our sessions had ended. I am forever grateful to Kara for her compassionate support and insight as she walked me through the most heart-shattering experience of my life. The healing that came as a result of her care has been transformative in so many ways.

I recently finished 2 days of experiential therapy with Jean and she’s so talented. While I am so grateful for the extensive talk therapy I’ve had over the years, which has evolved my self-awareness and led me to PIVOT, I feel as if I’ve made more strides in 6 weeks than I’ve made in 6 years. The experiential component is a game-changer.
