🌀 When the Old Tricks Stop Working
Why reinvention isn’t about productivity—it’s about pattern disruption.
You know that moment when you reach for an old habit—your go-to productivity trick, your trusted mindset reset, your “get back on track” ritual—and it just… doesn’t land anymore?
That’s a sign.
It doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your system is outdated.
Not your nervous system (though, maybe), and not your morning routine (though, again… maybe). I mean the deeper system you’ve been operating under—the spiral you’ve been looping through for years. The one that helped you succeed before, but doesn’t quite fit where you’re heading.
Here’s the part most people miss: we don’t reinvent because we’ve failed. We reinvent because we’ve outgrownsomething.
This shows up a lot in my work with clients who are mid-pivot—leaving a career, closing a chapter, or realizing that the path they fought hard to build… now feels like a job someone else wanted.
The tricky part? We often try to solve this disorientation by tweaking the same old levers: new habits, sharper goals, better calendars. But you can’t fix a spiral by adjusting the outer edge. You’ve got to get inside the loop.
You can’t out-hustle a pattern.
So much of our internal friction isn’t about effort—it’s about repetition. We’re trapped in mental muscle memory. We react the same way to the same types of challenges, even when the context has changed.
When I hit my own spiral reset point (which came, naturally, right after I thought I had everything figured out), I realized I didn’t need a better plan. I needed a new question.
That’s when everything shifted.
Not because I found some magic answer—but because I finally stopped asking myself, “How do I get back to normal?” and started asking, “What if normal no longer fits who I am?”
That’s where reinvention really begins.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about upgrading your pattern.
If this hits home, I’ve created something short and potent that might help. It’s not a course. It’s not a 12-week odyssey. It’s a quick reset for when you know the loop you’re stuck in needs a reboot.
I call it Reset the Spiral.
It’s a digital self-coaching tool you can walk through in under 30 minutes. No fluff, no filler—just the right prompts to help you see the spiral you’re in, interrupt the loop, and chart a new direction. Think of it like a pattern disruptor for your mindset.
Because sometimes, you don’t need more motivation.
You just need a new entry point.

You’re closer to your next edge than you think. Reset the spiral—and I’ll see you there.
