About

Let’s reframe self-discovery and personal growth as the lifelong adventure it truly is.

The ever-curious poet, Mary Oliver, posed this poignant question: “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

This is the springboard we can return to time and again to build the life we truly want. Let’s be honest, we redefine ourselves many times over during the course of lifetime. That is the magic of a life well lived – we just keep reinventing ourselves. We build the life we want by seeking out new opportunities and playing the hand we are dealt.

The mission of Trailheads & Pivot Points is to provide you with navigational tools and vantage points to help you set your evolving life journey with intention and enhanced self-awareness.

Self-discovery and personal growth is not a once and done goal. It is a dynamic, energetic and deeply rewarding lifelong process.

Every single one of our lived experiences is infused with emotions, stories, meaning and mile markers. We can build on our previous life lessons to cultivate more of what we want and less of what holds us back.

There are many entry points for self discovery and personal growth. My goal is to help you choose the one that best supports where you are right now in life — and where you want to go (and grow). You can start small, push yourself a little or go for a bigger challenge — select the trailhead that makes the most sense for you in the present moment.

Additionally, sometimes life opens windows of opportunity or stops us in our tracks with an obstacle. For those pivot points, I offer reframing and resources to help you make wise choices when faced with challenging (and game-changing) life decisions.

As Dr. Michael Gervais reminds us in each episode of his Finding Mastery podcast, “no one does this work alone”.

The mission of Trailheads & Pivot Points is to support your lifelong self-discovery and personal growth with seasoned coaches, experienced life guides and breakthroughs in neuroscience, psychology and emotional intelligence.

Instead of being shaped by life, let’s shape our lives with intention, knowledge, insights and personal empowerment.

Amy Davis, founder of Trailheads & Pivot Points

It was a pivotal moment in my life that set me on a path of self discovery. I’d finally reached a breaking point, recognizing that the real changes I longed for had to start with me. Lucky for me, mindfulness was the hot cultural topic at that very moment. It was a small trailhead that felt pretty enormous as a starting point. It’s been more than a dozen years since I took that first tenuous step. I’ve learned more about myself, made some painful and transformational discoveries and found purpose and meaning along the way. My mission is to help others do this foundational work early and often, throughout every chapter of life. Thanks to groundbreaking research in neuroscience and psychology, building the lives we want is more accessible than ever.
