Pivotry: The Art of Shifting
By Trish R. Yan
Four weeks before Trish R. Yan gave birth to her son, she lost her mother. At the time, she had no job, no financial security and was preparing to raise her son as a single parent.
Pivotry: The Art of Shifting shares Trish Yan's journey as a single mother alongside the stories of women who have navigated adversity with resilience and purpose. From first-generation immigrants to women who overcame poverty and uncertainty, each story reflects the power of adapting to life's unexpected turns.
Drawing from her own experiences, Yan introduces the practice of "pivotry" — recognizing when change is needed, releasing limiting beliefs and taking intentional steps toward a more meaningful future. She writes candidly about the challenges, setbacks and decisions that shaped her path, offering practical insights alongside personal reflection.
At its core, Pivotry: The Art of Shifting is an invitation to embrace change with courage, learn from the experiences of others and move forward with greater clarity, purpose and intention.
