In tomorrow’s episode of The Life Shift Podcast, I wondered, “Could I have survived this journey?” My guest, Audrey Laura White’s story is a powerful reminder that the human spirit is capable of surviving and thriving through seemingly insurmountable challenges. We are capable of so much.

As a proper teaser, here’s an AI-developed poem dedicated to Audrey -

“Echoes of Grief’s Journey.”

In the arena of life, we dance,
Audrey’s story, a testament to chance.
A purpose born from the ashes of grief,
In the heart’s darkest hour, she found relief.

A tale of loss, a brother’s life stolen,
In sorrow’s shadow, emotions golden.
A world shattered, a heartache profound,
Yet in the rubble, resilience was found.

She speaks of death, not as an end,
But a birth, a journey, a celestial bend,
From the sorrows of Earth, to the other side,
In this perspective, she takes her stride.

The importance of grief, spoken aloud,
In the echo of her voice, we are allowed.
To feel, to hurt, to openly weep,
In validation, our pain runs deep.

Her life, a testament to grief’s power,
In her darkest hour, a blooming flower.
From resentment and shame, to resilience and hope,
A lifeline thrown, a saving rope.

A meeting with Winter, a path unveiled,
In the face of grief, she has prevailed.
Now a beacon, guiding others through,
In her purpose, she found her truth.

Her voice is a call, a plea, a song,
A reminder that even when things go wrong,
In the heart of despair, we find our way,
For in life’s shifts, we often sway.

So here’s to Audrey, a guide, a light,
In our darkest hours, our most fearful night,
A testament to the strength within,
A reminder that even in loss, we can begin.

🎙️ In today's episode, I got the chance to connect with Allison Teicher-Fahrbach. From the age of 12, Allison harbored a dream, a goal that she was determined to achieve. Despite facing numerous challenges, including tough family times and a pretty rough accident, Allison's perspective on life's hurdles is uniquely positive.

🌟 What's truly fascinating about her story is how she viewed each obstacle as a 'good sign,' reminiscent of that classic Ace of Base song. This mindset is a testament to her resilience and optimism.

💡 This episode is not just a story about overcoming adversity; it's a lesson in viewing life through a lens of positivity and determination. Allison's journey is a reminder that the challenges we face can often be the very signs that lead us to our true paths.

🔗 Tune in to today's episode to listen to Allison's story and see how turning challenges into opportunities led to a fulfilling life.

I had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Allison Teicher-Fahrbach tell her journey through the continuous signs life was showing her to get back (or stay on) the path she dreamed for herself.

I’ll let this AI-developed poem, “Beacon in Life’s Classroom,” tease tomorrow’s episode with Allison !

“Beacon in Life’s Classroom”

In the classroom of life, where dreams take flight,
Walks in Allison, a beacon of light.
A teacher, an educator, a guide on the way,
In the realm of learning, she holds sway.

From childhood, a dream, a PhD in sight,
Undeterred by hurdles, she held it tight.
Life signs recurring, a song lyric’s call,
Guiding her path, through rises and falls.

A devastating accident, a stark reminder,
Life’s fleeting nature, it could not be blinder.
But dreams deferred are not dreams denied,
In the face of adversity, she took it in stride.

Resilience, her armor, determination her sword,
Challenges met with a powerful accord.
Through life’s ups and downs, in all its scenes,
Allison Teicher-Fahrbach, the queen of dreams.

Her story, a testament, an inspiring tale,
Of how, in the face of all, one can prevail.
A reminder to us all, in our dreams to invest,
On The Life Shift Podcast, she stands, a distinguished guest.

As a solo podcaster who relies on word of mouth for discovery, I’d love it if you subscribed to the show to hear Allison’s story tomorrow but also the 100+ other stories from the gems of humans I’ve been so lucky to connect with on The Life Shift Podcast.

Here’s this week’s poem, “Shifting Sands,” dedicated to my friend Lauren Cobello’s story that she shares on tomorrow’s (1/16) episode.

Originally, we were going to speak about launching her book and her television career, but instead, Lauren pulled back the curtain for a more personal story.

“Shifting Sands”

In the shifting sands of life we tread,
Lauren Cobello, a tale she’s led.
A tale of strength, of love, of strife,
A testament to her life’s shift, her life.

Once a face on the screen so bright,
In the limelight, she took her flight.
But beneath the sheen of success and fame,
A different story, a different name.

A mother of four, a heart so pure,
Through the pain, she did endure.
A divorce that shook her world around,
In the chaos, herself she found.

She traded fame for inner peace,
Allowed her soul a sweet release.
From public persona to a path so new,
To her essence, she remained true.

Lauren Cobello, a tale she spins,
Of life’s losses and its wins.
In this episode, her story’s heard,
In every line, in every word.

Oh hey. Three more episodes are coming up in the next ten days.

Breaking out of a prison of life’s circumstances, ignoring all of life’s signs that were always pointing one toward one's goals, and finding one's place in life through grieving the loss of many family members.

In today's episode of The Life Shift Podcast, I had the chance to talk with Stephanie Franklin, founder of Fly Wines, about the pivotal moment that changed her life forever.

Many, including myself, might assume that Stephanie's venture was a tribute to her late mother. However, Stephanie, embodying the entrepreneurial spirit, reminded me that our endeavors should stem from our own intuition and passion. While we honor our loved ones, it's our inner calling that should guide our path.

Stephanie's journey is a collection of golden nuggets of wisdom. Her courage in embracing the unknown and trusting in her abilities is a beacon for anyone on the entrepreneurial path. Though I often say that entrepreneurship isn't my thing, Stephanie's thoughts are forever inspiring.

The Life Shift Podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, GoodPods, and other platforms.

Tomorrow, the new episode of The Life Shift Podcast shares Stephanie Franklin's journey. Stephanie is a fearless entrepreneur who leaps into projects, seeing only learning opportunities. But it was a close personal loss that truly awakened her to life's fleeting nature.

Stephanie shares how the passing of her mother was a strong reminder of how life swiftly moves on whether you are grieving or not.

This realization propelled her even further into the unknown, leading her to launch Fly Wines, a venture that's as daring as it is innovative.

Here's "Vines of Resilience" put together (by AI) in honor of Stephanie's episode.

In the heart of Miami, a seedling grew,
Stephanie Franklin, a story to accrue.
From the sandy beaches to London's smoky hue,
Her journey of change began to brew.

In the realm of tech, she found her stride,
In New York and Bay Area, she took in stride.
Yet within her heart, a call to glide,
To a realm untouched, on an untamed ride.

Then came the storm, swift and cruel,
Her mother’s departure, a painful duel.
A life, once known, began to unspool,
Yet in the face of sorrow, she refused to be a fool.

From the ashes of loss, an idea sprang,
Flywines, a melody, beautifully sang.
A testament of resilience, a survival pang,
In embracing the unknown, she found her clang.

Through the veil of change, she found her might,
In the world of wines, she saw the light.
Overcoming adversity, reaching a new height,
In the dance of life, she took flight.

Stephanie Franklin, a tale so grand,
A journey of resilience, across sea and land.
An inspiration for all, a story so planned,
A testament to life’s shifting sand.

I am guilty of making little hurdles seem like mountains, but that is not Stephanie Franklin's way of thinking. It's probably why she jumps head first into projects with confidence and assurance that anything she faces, she can handle, and any hurdle is a chance to learn more.

Her story is coming on Friday, January 12th. I know that her message and the pivotal moment that led her to start Fly Wines will inspire my entrepreneurial friends to lean into your curiosities and trust your abilities.

I released episode 104 today. So, it seems like the appropriate time to record episode 119!

It’s been nearly three weeks since I’ve recorded an episode. Do I remember how to do this?

On today's episode of The Life Shift Podcast, I have the honor of sharing Mindy Corporon's story of unimaginable loss and remarkable resilience.

Mindy shared not just the traumatic details of the tragedy that struck her family, but also how she's channeled her grief into positive action. As the co-founder of Seven Days, Workplace Healing, and the author of "Healing a Shattered Soul," her efforts in promoting kindness, understanding, and overcoming hate are so inspiring.

We all work through our grief in different ways, but Mindy's approach to handling grief - by embracing it, processing it, and eventually, using it as a catalyst for positive change, is a powerful message for us all.

I resonated deeply with her emphasis on 'feeling the feels' and allowing grief to manifest in its own unique way for each of us.

Her work with Workplace Healing is a strong commitment to aiding others in their times of need, fostering empathy and understanding in professional environments.

I recommend listening to this powerful story and reminding yourself of the resilience we all possess within.

Here's "Echoes and Light," a poem (developed by AI) dedicated to Mindy Corporon. This poem is based on the story that she shared on tomorrow's episode of The Life Shift Podcast.

"Echoes and Light"

A shifting wind, a life transformed,
Each heartbeat echoes loss reborn.
A mother's love, a father's pride,
Yet now, in silence, both reside.

Echoes of laughter fill the air,
A young boy's song, beyond compare.
His voice, a balm, his spirit, bright,
Yet stolen in the harsh daylight.

From tears and sorrow, strength does grow,
A mission born from depths of woe.
Hate's bitter sting, its cruel mark,
Yet love insists to light the dark.

The voice of kindness rings out clear,
In every word, in every tear.
Through tragedy, a light is cast,
A legacy of love, steadfast.

A shift of life, a tale untold,
In every heart, her story's hold.
A testament to love's pure might,
In darkness, she becomes the light.

Please subscribe to The Life Shift so you can hear Mindy's story tomorrow morning (and over 100 other episodes with inspiring humans). It is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and pretty much everywhere else (I'll put an easy link in the comments)!

Hitting a new milestone in the first week of 2024 is a fun way to start the year. The Life Shift Podcast surpassed 25,000 downloads, and I’m so grateful.

Each listen, share, and behind-the-scenes encouragement from you has been so pivotal in this journey. It may not seem like a crazy amount of listens, but it’s a testament to the power of storytelling.

Rebecca Kirk shares how she was called to help others with their career journey through their spirituality in the 1/2/24 episode of The Life Shift.

www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com/s2e103

02/01/2024

I know a few of you can relate to the feelings that Rebecca Kirk shares in today's episode of The Life Shift Podcast. I was apprehensive to chat about something related to spirituality, but I found so much common ground with what Rebecca shared.

Here's the gist of Rebecca's story:
She was doing well in her corporate job, but something felt off. So she took a brave leap, headed to Sydney for a break, and BAM! She found a moment of pure bliss, and her life took a turn.

That's essentially what happened to Rebecca (in maybe a more poetic form). She went from feeling lost in the corporate world to finding her true calling.

She shares a bit about her "neutral zone" - that space between an old life and a new beginning. She also talks about the power of trusting your gut and where it can lead you.

Rebecca's journey is all about breaking free from what's expected and discovering what makes you feel aligned.

We'd be so honored if you listened to this episode or shared it with your friends. I'll share the links in the comments for easy access.
