Meet Lori Jean
Founder of PIVOT and PivotUP | Author of #HealthyAdult

Lori Jean Glass is a transformational force in the world of emotional wellness and relationship health. As the founder of PIVOT and PivotUP, and the creator of the widely acclaimed PIVOT Process, Lori Jean has helped thousands of individuals, couples, and families achieve what she calls Relational Freedom—the ability to show up as a Healthy Adult in all areas of life.

Her work is rooted in personal truth and developmental psychology. Lori Jean’s early life was marked by profound loss and trauma, including the drowning of her father and the suicide of her mother. Her journey through attachment wounds, self-sabotaging behaviors, and the mislabeling she experienced in the traditional mental health system led her to develop a more compassionate and effective path to healing.

From that lived experience, she created the PIVOT Process. This structured, emotionally intelligent methodology helps people understand the “why” beneath their patterns and gives them practical tools to shift those patterns in real time. It’s now the foundation of Lovetopivot’s retreats, coaching programs, and digital support platform, PivotUp.

She is the author of the bestselling book #HealthyAdult, which introduces readers to the core principles of the PIVOT Process and helps them move from reactive survival modes to aligned intentional living. The book distills complex psychological concepts into clear, empowering insights that have resonated with thousands.

Before founding PIVOT, Lori Jean built a successful career in branding, marketing, and leadership development. Her untraditional path into behavioral health became one of her greatest strengths—she brings a sharp business mind, creative instincts, and deep empathy to every part of her work.

Today, Lori Jean is a sought-after speaker, trusted mentor, and visionary leader who blends emotional depth with clarity and warmth. She continues to train a growing community of certified coaches, expand access to digital relational support through PivotUp, and advocate for a shift away from shame-based labels toward curiosity, compassion, and behavioral change.

At her core, Lori Jean is committed to helping people know themselves better, trust themselves more deeply, and create relationships that are honest and full of connection. She helps people untangle what hurts and find their way back to themselves—and to the relationships that matter most.

Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity, a couple stuck in painful patterns, or partners navigating a high-stakes professional relationship, Lori Jean brings precision, compassion, and deep personal experience to the table. Her work is grounded in the belief that when you understand your patterns, build internal alignment, and access your Healthy Adult, real change becomes possible.

“I believe that we are all capable of having healthy relationships.
I believe that we are each unique with a special imprint that makes us ‘us’.
I strongly believe in the power of healing.”
