✨ Ever find yourself sitting at the table, pen in hand, writing out your to-do list?
Big projects. Little tasks. Appointments you keep meaning to schedule (why does making that dentist appointment feel like climbing a mountain?). Phone calls. Bills.
It feels familiar, right? Some of those same tasks have been there for weeks… maybe even months.
And yet, there’s this tiny relief in writing it all down. A small itch scratched.
If you’re extra thorough, maybe you’ve even built an Excel sheet with tabs and dropdowns, a beautifully organized system for tracking everything. Impressive.
But then comes the moment of truth—time to actually do something.
And what happens?
👉 You go for the easy win—the grocery list (yep, another list).
👉 You decide the dishes must be done right now.
👉 You scroll AI for inspiration.
👉 Or you find any other task that feels useful but doesn’t touch the harder things.
The ones that keep showing up, week after week, untouched.

Why does this happen?
Because your nervous system is wired to keep you safe.
And “safe” often looks like avoiding anything that carries even a whisper of risk:
• The project that might flop.
• The conversation where you could be rejected.
• The creative leap that could expose your imperfections.
It doesn’t matter that logically you want to get it done. Deep down, your system is flashing red lights, telling you to step back.
And so you do.
I do it too.
When I’m avoiding recording a video or hitting publish, I suddenly get the urge to fold laundry, wipe down the counters, or start another load of dishes. Productive? Maybe. Honest? Not really.
And here’s the thing: this is incredibly common. It happens to almost everyone.

The way through isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about meeting the resistance with awareness:
1. Notice it. Say out loud: “I’m avoiding ___.”
2. Get curious. What are you really afraid of—failure, rejection, not being good enough?
3. Accept it. This is human. You’re not broken. Discomfort doesn’t mean stop—it means growth is close.
This is where anxiety can actually become a tool. Instead of keeping you circling the same list, it can signal you to step forward—imperfectly, but bravely.

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a six-month program to shift this. Sometimes all it takes is a short, focused reset—just 2 hours of guided support to break the list-making loop, uncover what’s really keeping you stuck, and walk away with clarity and specific next steps.
That’s why I created The Pivot.
After one session, you’ll understand your cycle, why your nervous system reacts the way it does, and how to move forward without looping back into avoidance.
