Four weeks before Trish R. Yan gave birth to her son, she lost her mother. She had no money and no job and would be parenting alone without a father for her baby.
Pivotry: The Art of Shifting shares her experience with single motherhood and includes stories from countless other women who have shown bravery, boldness, and courage to get through life and make the best of it. These stories are from first-generation immigrants, women who have come out of poverty and hopelessness and who have created the best versions of their lives despite their circumstances. Somehow, they all had situations that forced them to perfect the art of shifting, or pivotry.
In this book, Yan runs through her own process of pivotry by identifying examples of shifts she had to make in her own life, releasing old storylines, and then making those big, bold moves. She shares her trials and tribulations and how they turned out. It was messy and difficult at times, but that’s life.
We are all here to learn from each other—to glean from others’ stories of courage and bravery. Planned and unplanned shifts in life constantly happen, allowing us opportunities for growth and development and allowing us to pivot our situations into lives that become more meaningful. Pivotry: The Art of Shifting inspires you to be bold, live with purpose, and live for your biggest dreams.
What People Are Saying
“I LOVED this book. It grips the reader from the start and doesn’t let go. Prepare to discover how even the most difficult of circumstances and situations — financial, emotional, and otherwise — can be overcome if the person has a big enough ‘why’ to make it happen. Tragic in some places, celebratory in others, prepare for a wild ride to victory while learning that one’s attitude, determination, a desire to learn and grow, and one other very, very key ingredient can take anyone from where they are, to where they want to be!”
