In this episode of Rest for the Revolution, Alex sits down with the magical 2/4 Emotional Projector, Matt Nannis, founder of Pivot Point WNC, a transformative nonprofit in Asheville, North Carolina. Though Matt isn’t formally into Human Design, his experiences as a splenic Projector illuminate profound lessons about rest, self-awareness, and navigating life’s pressures.

Matt shares his journey from restless, anxiety-filled childhoods and decades of coping through substances, distraction, and over-functioning, to discovering restoration, presence, and self-trust. Along the way, he reveals how he learned to embrace his internal monologue, break cycles of shame and overperformance, and model healthy rest for himself and the adolescents he supports.

Topics discussed include:

• The evolution of Matt’s relationship with rest—from elusiveness to restorative practices.

• Masking struggle and anxiety in a high-pressure environment, and finding freedom through sobriety.

• How mentorship, self-reflection, and radical acceptance can transform racing thoughts into restorative practices.

• Building and leading a nonprofit with care and energy, while maintaining personal rest and boundaries.

• The ripple effect of modeling presence, accountability, and self-care within community mental health.

Matt’s story is a powerful reminder that rest isn’t indulgence—it’s revolutionary, and it’s central to showing up fully in life, even amidst chaos and pressure.
