111 pages. Twelve parts. A colour edition for screen and a print edition for home.

You've built a life that works on paper.
And something in you has gone quiet.

This is for the woman who is not in crisis. Nothing has fallen apart. She is capable, and busy, and running a life other people would want.

She just knows, underneath it, that the version of her who built all this is not the version who wants to keep living inside it.

You don't need to know the answer. You don't need a plan. You need somewhere honest to begin.

It's written for women in midlife in the widest sense. The season is not defined by your body.

Why I wrote it

I wrote this from inside it, not from the other side.

  • I founded Shhh Silk in 2015 and ran it for eleven years.
  • In 2026 I walked away. No sale, no payout, no next thing lined up.
  • I wrote this workbook from inside that.

I'm the author of Self-Made, published by Wiley. I lead The Midlife Truth, my ongoing research into what women actually experience in midlife. I trained in somatic counselling and authentic relating.

Everything in here is work I have done myself.

Twelve parts

Numbered 00 to 11. Work through them in order, or open the one you need.

  • 00 Arrive

    Clarity doesn't come from a braced body. Before you decide anything, you land.

  • 01 The truth

    You can't change direction until you're honest about where you're standing.

  • 02 The carrying

    Every pivot has a weight inside it. Naming it is how you stop carrying what was never yours.

  • 03 Beyond the good girl

    You were taught to be nice. You were born to be whole. This part is about reclaiming the power you learnt to hide.

  • 04 The body

    Your body has been keeping score of what's true. It is time to listen.

  • 05 Living cyclically

    You are not meant to be the same every day. Your energy moves in rhythms. Life gets gentler when you move with them.

  • 06 The sacred season

    Perimenopause is not a problem to hide. It is a transition, and an invitation. And your body is asking to be heard.

  • 07 Coming back to self

    You didn't lose yourself all at once. You won't find your way back all at once either. You come home in small returns.

  • 08 The vision

    You don't need the whole map. You need a clear enough picture to take the next step towards it.

  • 09 Money and freedom

    Money is not just numbers. In this season it is options. The freedom to pivot, pause or begin again.

  • 10 Rise

    This season is not about disappearing. It is about showing up as the woman you have become, and standing for something bigger than yourself.

  • 11 The move

    A pivot is not one big decision. It is a series of small, honest ones.

What you get

  • Two editions

    A full colour edition for reading on screen, with clickable links. And an ink friendly black and white edition made for printing at home. Most women print it. Both are included.

  • The monthly masterclass, included

    Your access to my monthly masterclass comes with the workbook. Live on the third Tuesday of every month, and recorded, so you have it either way. The workbook is built to be used alongside it: there are notes pages at the back for each session.

  • $100 off a first private session

    A code inside the workbook takes a first 90 minute private session from $550 to $450. One per workbook owner.

What you'll walk away with

Not a transformation. A record.

  • The truth about where you actually are, written down.
  • What you're carrying, and which of it was ever yours.
  • A vision page you can return to, in your own handwriting.
  • Money looked at as options rather than numbers.
  • One first move. Small enough to actually take.

The work is yours. The workbook asks the questions.

Questions

What is The Pivot Workbook?

A 111 page guided workbook in twelve parts, for women in midlife who sense something is shifting and want somewhere honest to start. It is written by Olivia Carr, founder of Shhh Silk and author of Self-Made. You get it as two PDFs, instantly, for $27 AUD.

Who is it for?

Women in midlife who are not in crisis but know something has gone quiet. You do not need a plan or an answer to begin.

What format is it, and can I print it?

Two PDFs, both included. A 111 page A4 full colour edition for screen with clickable links, and a black and white edition made for printing at home. The print edition is designed not to drink your ink. A4, single sided, works on a home printer.

How do I get it after I buy?

Instantly. Both editions are emailed to you straight after purchase and are also available on your order confirmation page. There is nothing to wait for and nothing posted.

Is this relevant if I am not in perimenopause?

Yes. One of the twelve parts is about that season specifically. The other eleven are about work, truth, identity, what you are carrying, the body, money and what comes next.

Is the masterclass included?

Yes. Access to the monthly masterclass comes with the workbook. It runs live on the third Tuesday of every month and every session is recorded, so you get the replay whether or not you make it live. There are notes pages at the back of the workbook for each session.

Is this therapy or coaching?

No. It is a guided workbook. Olivia trained in somatic counselling and authentic relating, and that shapes how the questions are asked, but this is not therapy, counselling or medical advice and does not replace them. If you are struggling, please talk to someone qualified to help.

What is the refund policy?

Because this is a digital product delivered immediately, there are no refunds for change of mind. This does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law. If something is wrong with the files or the product is not as described, email hello@oliviacarr.com.au and it will be sorted out.

You don't have to know what's next.

You just have to be honest about where you are. That's where this starts.
