The Life Shift Podcast - Pivotal Moments

Danielle McCombs was in a moment of change, questioning her career path and what she should be doing with the next 20 years of her life.

"I realized, oh, the title and the money are not the things that drive me."

Danielle McCombs is a certified coach who helps people find clarity and purpose in their lives. She is passionate about helping people discover their true potential and create the life they want to live.

Danielle McCombs worked in commercial real estate for 20 years when she realized it wasn't her dream job. She started working with a coach in June 2020 to help her figure out what she wanted to do next. In August, her mother was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. This made McCombs realize that life is short and that she needed to do something she was passionate about. McCombs left her job in January 2021 and started taking classes to become a certified coach. She is now a certified coach and can work on her own terms.

In this episode, we discuss how:

1. Danielle McCombs was in a moment of change in her life and career when she was forced to reflect on what she really wanted to do with her life.

2. After her mother was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, Danielle realized that life is short and that she needed to make a change.

3. Danielle decided to become a coach, and she is now in the process of making that change.

Danielle McCombs is a growth-minded individual that is constantly striving to improve herself and deepen her understanding of the world around her. After a 20-year career in commercial real estate Danielle decided to pursue her passion for inspiring others to be the best version of themselves. She is a Co-Active Institute-trained coach. Danielle is the host of the podcast "The Opposite of Small Talk", where she explores new ways to grow both personally and professionally with her friend Kristy.

In this third bonus episode, I reconnect with Rachel Fiorello (episode 9) to chat about her experience on The Life Shift Podcast.

In each of these conversations, I aim to ask similar questions, such as:

How did you feel after we finished recording?
How about when you heard the episode for the first time?
What did the conversation reveal or unveil about your story that you hadn't considered before?
Are there any updates about your life since we recorded your story?

Did any of that feedback surprise you?
Has there been another story that you strongly related to?

REPLAY: Honoring Memories, Overcoming Life's Challenges: A Story of Grief, Growth And Empowerment | Matt Gilhooly

1 Recommendations

This is a REPLAY of episode 11, launched in May 2022. I wanted to share this episode again for new subscribers that have yet to hear my story and the WHY behind The Life Shift Podcast.

In this episode, we flipped the script so I could tell my story. Throughout the first batch of episodes, the guests (and listeners) asked when I would tell my story. So, in this episode, my first guest, Christin Lindley, leads the conversation as I share the pivotal moments that shaped my life and eventually led to The Life Shift podcast.

As a child, Matt faced his mother's sudden and unexpected death. At just 8 years old, he had to grapple with the grief and sadness that comes with such a tragedy. He was also forced to adjust to a new life in Georgia, where he had to start school as "the new kid." Despite all this, he found comfort in his grandmother's love and support. Unfortunately, she eventually got a lung cancer diagnosis, and it became clear that her time was limited. On her 82nd birthday, they had a wonderful celebration surrounded by family. During this time, they had an honest conversation about their relationship and expressed gratitude for each other. After she passed away, he took time to process his grief and come out on the other side with clarity. He realized that he had been living his life to other people's expectations, but now he could live authentically for himself. He learned that it's okay to be sad but also happy for the experiences you shared together. Grief is something you never get over, but it's important to process it to move forward in life.
