shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
life handed me stories i never expected… like discovering family secrets, surprise relatives, becoming a mom before i was ready, enough therapy to fill a book, and carrying grief that quietly shaped who i am. and if i learned one thing through it all, it’s this: change is inevitable, but growth is a choice.
stories matter. yours. mine. the messy, hidden, uncomfortable parts people don’t say out loud? i care about those. empathy, reflection, and honest conversations are my thing.
shift happens is your safe space for candid conversations and honest reflections that push you to own your story, face the hard truths, and keep moving forward (together).
because at the end of the day, the question isn’t “why did it happen”... it’s “what are you gonna do about it?”

what happens when the life you’ve built is just a mask for the pain you’re hiding? in this raw, no-bs conversation, i sit down with yvette—author of booze, blow & pancakes—to talk about living three different lives at once: fitness instructor by day, sales rep by night, and a secret life of stripping, addiction, and an eating disorder in between.
yvette opens up about the moment she knew she was going to die if she didn’t change, what it really takes to break free from the habits that are killing you, and how to honor the promises you make to yourself even when it feels impossible.
this is a story about addiction, survival, and the power of finally facing your own reflection... no masks, no excuses. if you’ve ever felt stuck in a version of yourself you don’t even recognize anymore, this is the wake-up call you’ve been waiting for.
