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?”

some stories never get the chance to be told and that’s what this episode is about.
in 2019, i lost someone who was like family to domestic violence. i was in my senior year of college, and it changed the way i saw everything... silence, safety, grief, and storytelling. this one’s not about headlines or hashtags. it’s about what happens when someone’s story is stolen, and why i believe so deeply that stories matter. the messy ones, the hidden ones, the ones people never get to tell themselves.
