Presale Campaign for Shift Your Pace™

My name is Candace P. Roberts, and I’m the author of Shift Your Pace™.

I wrote this book for people who have been running at a pace their life can no longer support. People doing everything “right” and still ending the day drained, scattered, and wondering why they can’t seem to catch up.

For a long time, that was me.

My calendar was full. My output was high. I was praised for keeping up while ignoring the truth that my body and mind were worn down.

Shift Your Pace™ began with a simple question I couldn’t unsee once it surfaced: What if the problem isn’t your discipline?

What if the problem is your pace?

What This Presale Is

This is a small, intentional presale for the first print run of Shift Your Pace™.

Only 200 copies will be printed in this initial run. This presale supports the final stages of editing, design, and production and gives early readers access to the book and its companion tools before publication.

This is not a mass campaign. It’s a focused first release for people who want to engage with the work early.

About My Book

Shift Your Pace™ is for people who have outgrown the speed they’re living at.

Most of us try to fix burnout by trying harder. We reorganize. We optimize. We cut sleep before we cut expectations. These are survival tactics, not solutions.

This book names the real issue. Your pace is working against you.

Inside the book, I walk through how to notice the patterns you default to under pressure, understand what your current pace is quietly costing you, and design a rhythm that fits your actual life instead of the one you keep trying to keep up with.
This is not a productivity book. It’s for people who want to keep doing meaningful work without losing themselves in the process.

Who This Book Is For

This book is for you if any of this feels familiar:

• You’re the person people count on. You carry the mental load at work and at home.
• Your mind rarely shuts off. You’re always planning what’s next because there’s never enough time to think today.
• You keep telling yourself things will settle down after this season. They don’t.
• You’ve tried systems, planners, resets, and new habits. Nothing sticks because you keep returning to the same pace that wore you down in the first place.
• You care deeply about your work and your people. You want a life that still feels like yours.

Why Preorder?

Preordering does three important things:
1. It gives you access to the book and companion tools included in select packages before publication.
2. It directly supports the editorial, design, and production work required to bring this book into the world.
3. It helps signal demand for this work so it can reach the people who need it.

Your preorder isn’t a donation. It’s a decision to engage with this work early.

About the Publishing Process

Shift Your Pace™ is being published with Manuscripts, who have assembled an editorial and production team to support revisions, design, and launch.

Final publication is planned for 2026. Updates and early materials will be shared along the way.

The cover and layout shown here are early mockups and will continue to evolve.

About the Author

Candace P. Roberts is Vice President of Data Strategy & Insights with more than twenty-five years of experience across teams, departments, and leadership levels. She has built a career in environments where expectations increase faster than capacity and has watched how often the human cost gets ignored.

She has led teams, served on teams, and rebuilt her own pace more than once. She has seen how high performers burn themselves out trying to meet every demand. She has also seen what becomes possible when people learn to work with their real capacity instead of against it.

Candace focuses on the intersection of clarity, pace, and human behavior. She helps individuals, teams, and leaders slow down enough to see what is actually happening, make cleaner decisions, and create systems they can sustain. Her work is not limited to data or AI. It is about how people navigate pressure, stretch themselves thin, and try to build a life they do not have to recover from.

She founded Thought Trails™ to give people practical tools for the messy middle between knowing something must change and figuring out how to make that change real. Shift Your Pace™ is her first book and captures the lessons, patterns, and practical insight shaped by twenty-five years of rea-world experience.

She lives in metro Atlanta, Georgia.

Other Ways to Support Me

If this book resonates but preordering isn’t right for you, there are other simple ways to support the work.

• You can share this page with someone whose pace worries you. A short note and a link can reach someone who needs this more than they realize.
• You can mention Shift Your Pace™ to a leader or HR partner who knows their people are stretched thin and wants something more honest than another resilience memo.
• You can talk about the idea of pace in your own words, online or offline. Your voice helps this work travel beyond my immediate circle.
