In this first episode of The Thought Shift Podcast, Debbie and Nicola open up the conversation on what it really means to let go of who you thought you had to be. We talk about the invisible pressures to have it all figured out, the identity shifts that come with motherhood and growth, and the uncomfortable truth that clarity rarely comes before action. This isn’t another pep talk or productivity hack. It’s an invitation to pause — to notice the beliefs and expectations that have been running the show and gently ask, Do they still fit? Through honest reflection, stories from our own messy middles, and a look at the psychology behind overthinking and uncertainty, we explore: The myth that we need perfect clarity before we can act Why our minds crave control, and how to build tolerance for not knowing How fear and doubt often show up as “pressure to get it right” The power of taking one small step without needing the outcome guaranteed Our Woo or Wow? segment asks: is “trusting the universe” actually grounded in science or just a spiritual buzzword? You might be surprised at what we find. This episode is for the woman who’s tired of holding it all together, yet still feels the pull to evolve — the one standing on the edge of change, unsure what’s next, but ready to feel like herself again. If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this is your reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
