Dancing with the Unknown: The First Step into The Pivot

Episode 1: Pivoting into Possibility with Amah

What if the pivot you’re seeking isn’t a sharp turn — but a deep surrender into something bigger?

Welcome to the very first episode of The Pivot! I’m your host, Dave Schoof, and today we’re not doing a classic interview. Instead, I’m sitting down with the brilliant Amah for an open exploration of what it means to navigate uncertainty, embrace emergence, and trust the wisdom unfolding through us.

If you’re feeling the tremble of change and wondering how to find your way forward — you’re in exactly the right place.

In this very first episode of The Pivot, Dave invites Amah — an intuitive guide, deep listener, and explorer of human transformation — for a conversation that’s more of an unfolding than an interview.

Together, they dive into:

• The art of surrendering control during major life transitions,
• How to listen for what’s emerging rather than forcing outcomes,
• Why uncertainty is not a problem to solve, but an invitation to evolve,
• Personal stories of pivotal moments that reshaped their paths,
• The power of authentic presence in creating new realities.
• This episode is about more than insights — it’s about feeling into the living edge of change itself.
