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.

motivation is flaky. she hypes you up on friday night and ghosts you by monday morning. if you’re waiting for some magical feeling to finally show up and change your life…newsflash: it’s not coming. in this visual episode, i break down why motivation is trash, why discipline is your real superpower, and how small, consistent actions (not feelings) build momentum, trust with yourself, and results you actually want.

trigger warning: this episode discusses postpartum depression, identity loss, and mental health struggles. please take care of yourself while listening.

to close out our month of motherhood, i sat down with keerthi karnati for one of the most raw and necessary conversations i’ve ever had on the podcast. she opens up about her postpartum journey; the depression, the identity crisis, the thoughts that felt too heavy to say out loud and the shifts that helped her find her way back to herself.

this isn’t the picture-perfect version of motherhood. this is the truth too many moms are living in silence. and if you only ever listen to one episode of shift happens, let it be this one. because this conversation could save a mom’s life (or at the very least remind her she’s not broken, not crazy, and definitely not alone).

motherhood doesn’t give you a choice... when life hits, you either sink or swim. ronda marsh knows that firsthand. from her son’s type 1 diabetes diagnosis to addiction ripping through her family, to being left to carry it all on her own... she’s been thrown in the deep end more times than she can count. this isn’t a polished story, it’s a real one. and it’s the second to last episode in our motherhood series, which makes it the perfect reminder: even when you feel like you’re drowning, you’re stronger than you think.

this isn’t your typical “single mom struggle” story. it’s a decade of legal warfare, emotional warfare, and a final mic drop moment where peace became the real victory. she wasn’t weak for walking away. she was smart, savage even, taking her power back on her own terms when the system was built to break her.

this is the kind of raw, no-bullsh!t story moms need to hear... especially the ones stuck in their own battles, feeling worn out, defeated, or like the system’s rigged against them.
