Chapter 01 · The quiz

What kind of pivot are you?

Three questions, ninety seconds. Answer with your gut, not your resume.

01 / 03

It is Sunday night. What is the feeling?

Chapter 02 · The pathThe pivot path
twelve weeks, three moves

Not a straight line, and that is the point. Every pivot doubles back on itself at least once. We plan for that.

Weeks1 to 4

Get honest

What you actually want, minus the noise of what you think you should want. We find the real question.

margin note: most people cry in week two. It is a good sign.

Weeks5 to 8

Test it small

Coffee chats, a pilot client, a weekend project. Real data before you bet anything you cannot get back.

margin note: three real conversations beat thirty saved listings.

Weeks9 to 12

Make the move

The plan, the money, the timeline and the announcement. You leave with dates on a calendar.

margin note: the announcement post is the easy part. Promise.

Chapter 04 · Field notes

Before the room

  • Sunday dread that starts at 3pm
  • Seventeen tabs of job listings, zero applications
  • A side idea you only mention after two glasses of wine
  • Waiting for a sign

p. 1, crossed out

After the room

  • One decision, made on purpose
  • A tested idea with real people behind it
  • A money plan that makes the jump boring
  • A date on the calendar

p. 2, in pen

I walked in wanting permission to quit. I walked out with a plan, a number and a start date. Six months later I run my own studio.

Week five, I pitched the idea to three real clients. Two said yes. That was the moment the fear turned into a calendar.

hi, I’m Nadia

I spent eighteen years in brand marketing at two very large companies before my own pivot at forty-three. On the call we figure out whether you need a coach, a vacation or just a decision.
