The Life Shift – Stories About Life-Changing Moments

Which episode should someone start with?

I would recommend scanning through some of the topics, but if you want to hear the true WHY for The Life Shift Podcast, I would recommend listening to my story: REPLAY: Honoring Memories, Overcoming Life's Challenges: A Story of Grief, Growth, And Empowerment | Matt Gilhooly.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

I don't think I could pick a favorite episode. Each episode features a generous guest sharing their personal stories and journey through pivotal moments.

Which episode are you most proud of?

I'm really proud of the episodes where my guests came on the show and talked about events they've never shared publicly before: Reclaiming Trust and Finding Abundance After Heartbreak | Claudia Noriega-Bernstein A Haircut, Pronouns, and Complete Authenticity | Cristina Marcello Infertility Journeys Should Not Feel Isolating | Lauren Yard

What is your vision for your show?

My vision is that we share candid conversations that all humans should have. We should be comfortable sharing the messy moments in our lives. They make us interesting. As one guest, Morgan, said, "Our Mess is Our Message."

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

I quite enjoy true crime podcasts due to their puzzle-like stories. However, I highly recommend listening to A Fresh Story and Untether Your Life.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

The Life Shift came from the thought of my mother's death in an accident. At that moment, my life shifted off course and would never be the same.
