You don’t have a clarity problem; you have an “everything feels urgent” problem.

Between updating your resume, tailoring every application, networking, LinkedIn optimization, interview prep, and balancing the rest of life… no wonder it feels easier to do nothing.

Overwhelm keeps you stuck longer than fear ever will.

You don’t need to do everything at once. You just need a clear, step-by-step path that helps you focus your time and energy where it matters most.

That’s why I created the Bold Pivot Plan, a simple roadmap that cuts through the noise, shows you where to start, and helps you build momentum without burning out.

➡️ Go straight to work
➡️ Join the military
➡️ Maybe attend a state college nearby

You know your job search should be more than just sending out applications…

But your LinkedIn profile makes you cringe.
Your headshot is 10 years old.
And every time you go to "put yourself out there," something holds you back.
You’re not lazy. You’re human, and fear has a sneaky way of dressing up as procrastination.

I’ll walk you through 4 practical (and compassionate) tips to beat the shame-spiral and get into visible, forward motion in your job search, without needing hours of your time or loads of confidence.

We’ll cover:
Why small, visible wins kill the small humiliations of a long job search
How to use 5-minute sprints to stop overthinking and start moving
Real ways to make progress public, without feeling like you’re bragging
The quiet mindset shift that will completely change how you show up online

You’ll walk away with:
✅ A micro-action plan you can use immediately
✅ Real-life stories from job seekers who went from frozen to hired
✅ A fresh perspective on what it really means to "look for work"

Let’s get you unstuck and moving, one small, brave step at a time.
