Start Here: What Is The Life Shift?
About this episode
Hi, I'm Matt Gilhooly and I host The Life Shift – a podcast about the moments that change everything.
When I was eight years old, my life flipped upside down. For a long time, I didn't know how I would ever process it. That's a big part of why I created this show.
Each week, I sit with someone and talk about one specific moment – the kind that splits a life into before and after.
Loss. Trauma. Identity shifts. The quiet unraveling that nobody sees coming.
We talk about how they moved through it without pretending there's a clean finish line.
If you've ever felt like your story doesn't fit the script, I hope you'll listen.
